Advancements in quantum computing could enhance Bitcoin's security, despite fears of potential threats to cryptographic encryption. Adam Back, co-founder of Blockstream, suggests that post-quantum signature research will yield more compact signatures, which Bitcoin can adopt. Meanwhile, Google's new quantum chip, Willow, while impressive, is still far from being able to compromise Bitcoin's encryption, requiring a quantum computer with 13 million qubits for effective decryption.
Google's new quantum chip, Willow, boasts 105 qubits and significantly reduced error rates, raising concerns in the crypto community about Bitcoin's security. Early Bitcoin transactions, using a vulnerable public key format, could be at risk if quantum computing advances further. However, experts believe Bitcoin remains secure for now, as current quantum capabilities are insufficient to crack its cryptography faster than transaction confirmation times.
Google's new quantum computing chip, Willow, can solve complex problems in under five minutes, raising concerns among Bitcoin users about potential vulnerabilities. However, experts assert that significant advancements are still needed, as a quantum computer would require 13 million qubits to compromise Bitcoin within 24 hours. This breakthrough highlights the urgency for advancements in post-quantum cryptography.
A sharp crypto market correction resulted in $1.7 billion in liquidations within 24 hours, with Bitcoin dropping to $94,100 and Ethereum falling 8% below $3,800. Speculation surrounds the impact of Google's new quantum chip, 'Willow,' on crypto security, although experts assert that current threats remain minimal. Meanwhile, Bhutan transferred 406 Bitcoin to QCP Capital, raising concerns about its market influence.
Google's Quantum AI team has introduced Willow, a quantum computing chip that can solve complex problems in under five minutes, a task that would take supercomputers 10 septillion years. While Willow represents a significant advancement with its 105 qubits and improved error correction, experts believe it is still far from threatening crypto encryption, which would require a quantum computer with around 13 million qubits. This breakthrough highlights the urgent need for advancements in post-quantum cryptography to safeguard digital assets.
