Google's Quantum Breakthrough Puts Bitcoin in Trouble? Analyst Says Not Today, but 'Gap ...

Google announced a quantum computing breakthrough that significantly reduces error rates for a key component called magic states, bringing quantum computers closer to breaking Bitcoin's cryptographic security, although no existing quantum machine currently poses a threat. Experts predict it will take at least a decade before quantum computers can decode Bitcoin private keys, but the security gap is narrowing.
