Smashed Quantum Computing Record Raises Stakes for Bitcoin Security
Quantum computing firm Quantinuum has announced a major breakthrough in error correction, achieving a record 99.9995% logical fidelity that it says strengthens its path toward a commercially viable, fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029. The advance comes amid mounting concerns that increasingly powerful quantum machines could eventually undermine the cryptography protecting bitcoin and other…
Quantinuum reported a record 99.9995% logical fidelity in quantum error correction, claiming it strengthens its path to a commercially viable fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029. The milestone intensifies concerns that future quantum machines could eventually break the cryptography securing bitcoin. Traders should note this is a long-horizon risk rather than an immediate threat, but it keeps quantum vulnerability in the narrative around BTC's long-term security.
