🚨 THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WILD Google just released a quantum paper, and it's really a nightmare. Here's what you need to know: - Breaking crypto encryption now only requires 500,000 qubits. That’s 20 times less than what experts previously thought was needed. - An attack could happen in just 9 minutes. Bitcoin’s block confirmation takes longer than that. - The top 1,000 Ethereum wallets could be cracked in 9 days. Crypto projects have roughly 3 years to upgrade their security before quantum computers make current encryption obsolete.
Are there any shortcuts to scaling quantum computers? This week we spoke with @CraigGidney about optimizing quantum circuits and arithmetic operations to make quantum computing cheaper, faster, and more practical. Full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=lnHgYv…
We recently spoke with @CraigGidney, a leading expert in quantum algorithms at @GoogleQuantumAI. With Google calling for post-quantum cryptography by 2029, quantum progress is advancing faster than expected. Craig made several recent estimates on a quantum computer breaking RSA-2048 could take 1M noisy qubits and 1 week. Our takeaway from speaking with Craig: the bottleneck isn’t qubits, it’s arithmetic. Modular multiplication is costly due to heavy T-gate use. He is primarily focused on making algorithms practical via magic-state distillation and scalable factories. A pleasure speaking with Craig, humble and a one-of-a-kind expert pushing quantum algorithms forward. Our Tech team is adjusting Qubitcoin to the needs of making quantum algorithms practical.
