Google announces latest breakthrough, the threat of quantum technology to Bitcoin is intensifying.

On October 23, according to Decrypt, Google's latest quantum processor has achieved a breakthrough that physicists have pursued for decades: a demonstrable leap in computing speed beyond that of the world's strongest supercomputers. This also means that the long-standing concerns about quantum computing posing a threat to Bitcoin seem to be becoming unprecedentedly real. According to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature, Google's 105 Quantum Bit “Willow” chip successfully ran a physical algorithm faster than any classical computer — marking the first experimental verification of quantum advantage on real hardware. Although the applications of this peer-reviewed achievement are still limited, its significance is enormous: it indicates that quantum processors are gradually approaching practical reliability, and it also suggests that one day they may have the ability to break the encryption technologies that protect Bitcoin and other digital assets.
