⚠️Google’s quantum chip achieves a new breakthrough! Satoshi-era Bitcoin faces a potential threat
On October 17, CoinDesk reported that Google’s Willow quantum chip (official website) has made progress in preparing special quantum states, reducing the associated error rate by about 40-fold and removing one technical hurdle to performing complex quantum computations in the future.
The public keys of some early BTC addresses have been publicly visible for a long time. If a sufficiently powerful quantum computer emerges in the future, these assets could face a more direct cryptographic risk.
