Quantum Threats May Emerge Within 15 Years; Without Changing Bitcoin's Block Size, Transitioning to Quantum-Resistant Addresses Would Take 20 Years
— Exclusive Interview with Professor Ding Jintai, Dean of the School of Mathematics and Physics at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, a Global Pioneer in Post-Quantum Cryptography
By the end of 2025, quantum computing technology is expected to develop rapidly. The latest report from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) indicates that significant breakthroughs in quantum error correction were achieved in 2024. Conservative estimates suggest that quantum computers capable of cryptography-related calculations could appear within 15 years. This transforms the "quantum threat" faced by Bitcoin and the entire digital financial system from a distant hypothetical to an imminent reality: once large-scale quantum computers mature, the current public key cryptography system will be vulnerable, and all encrypted assets will face the risk of being exposed.
