Google Tackles a Key Quantum Hurdle. What It Means for Bitcoin
Google says it has shown, for the first time, a practical solution to one of quantum computing’s biggest hurdles. The method cut errors about 40-fold on its Willow chip in research published in Science on October 15. Quantum computers are a new kind of machine that may one day crack the codes protecting Bitcoin (BTC). The post Google Tackles a Key Quantum Hurdle. What It Means for Bitcoin…
Google published research in Science on October 15 showing a method that reduced errors roughly 40-fold on its Willow quantum chip, addressing a major obstacle to practical quantum computing. Quantum computers are seen as a long-term theoretical threat to the cryptography securing Bitcoin, though no current machine can break it. The news is an incremental technical milestone rather than an immediate risk to BTC, so traders are unlikely to reprice on it.
