Quantum Computers Could Crack Bitcoin Far Sooner Than Expected, Caltech Finds

A team from Caltech and startup Oratomic has shown that a quantum computer capable of running Shor’s algorithm — the protocol that breaks modern encryption — could work with just 10,000 qubits. Previous estimates put that number at one million or higher. The finding, published March 31, dramatically compresses the timeline for when quantum machines The post Quantum Computers Could Crack Bitcoin Far Sooner Than Expected, Caltech Finds appeared first on BeInCrypto.
