Surmount Systems

Look who stopped by the office! Great to chat with Hunter Beast (@cryptoquick, @SurmountSystems) and Theo Fields (@theobcvc) on the latest happenings in the quantum and crypto spaces! You may recognize Hunter from his work on a certain Google paper that has been all the rage in crypto lately 👀

BITCOIN QUANTUM RESISTANCE MONTHLY UPDATE #3 by @cryptoquick IS OUT! TOP 3 STORIES: -> HRF made the quantum threat to Bitcoin a human rights issue -> First SLH-DSA transactions demo at Tabconf! -> Quantinuum’s new 48 error-corrected logical qubits quantum computer Read the FULL UPDATE👇 cryptoquick.substack.com/p/the-quantum-…

Great news everyone! The BIP 360 workshop at @tabconf went very well today and we were able to demonstrate several working SLH-DSA transactions to Pay to Tapscript Hash addresses on our signet instance! signet.bip360.org/tx/8e4ae23b84c…

Quantum computing is no longer science fiction. If it scales, what does it mean for Bitcoin security? @lopp @bradmillscan @cryptoquick @SurmountSystems Moderator: @PrestonPysh 📅 Oct 24–25 | Lugano #PlanBForum @andurobtc @egodeathcapital @primal_app @debificom

Charlie was worried about the quantum threat to Bitcoin. Watch this clip. We will have a solution. For you, Charlie. bip360.org

Getting pumped for this special #quantum focused episode of Bitcoin Rails with @lopp and Anduro's own @isabelfoxenduke

Hey @stevetipp, you're even in the Spanish news 👏 He recently broke a 6 bit ECC key with IBM's 133 qubit quantum computer. criptonoticias.com/tecnologia/com…

Just published my first BIP 360 article! cryptoquick.substack.com/p/history-and-…

In true Silicon Valley fashion, PsiQuantum has evolved from converted office space to operating in national labs and tier-1 semiconductor fabs. Our new Bay Area facility provides the controlled environment, space, and power our test and assembly teams need—enabling mass production of sub-assemblies and raw materials, and set to host our largest intermediate systems yet.

Published today: 2 papers showing major advancements in neutral atom quantum computing from the Lukin group at Harvard. 1) Continuous operation of a coherent, *3,000* qubit system. 2) An architecture for universal, fault-tolerant quantum computing The prior SOTA was a 256-qubit machine from the same Harvard / QuEra team. 3000 qubits is a >10x leap. On a smaller, 448-qubit machine, they perform 27-step circuits on logical qubits - taking a step beyond @Google's Willow work last December.

10M BTC addresses with a non-zero balance are quantum vulnerable, according to @projecteleven You can check if yours is in the list here: projecteleven.com/btc-at-risk

Vacuum tubes → transistors → integrated circuits → microprocessors → today In the 1950s, computers switched from vacuum tubes to transistors, becoming: – 10× faster – 50× smaller – 50× cheaper Just four years later, integrated circuits leveled things up again. ~13 years after that, microprocessors scaled it all down to a single chip, laying the foundation for modern computing. ⚛️ Quantum computing is now at that same vacuum-to-transistor stage -- paving the way toward a future we might not even be able to imagine.

Some will see the work that we're doing on BIP-360 as preventing an imaginary threat to an imaginary money. Yet-- the $40 billion invested into quantum computing is a potential threat to a $2 trillion dollar asset.

BlackRock flagged quantum risks for BTC in a regulatory filing 👇 "If quantum computing technology is able to advance, it could potentially undermine the viability of many of the cryptographic algorithms (...) including those used in Bitcoin." Let's make BTC quantum resistant
