Earlier this month, Google announced a brand-new quantum chip dubbed Willow. The 105-qubit chip — that’s double the qubit count of the tech giant’s preceding Sycamore chip — completed a computation in ...

Project 11 is looking to gauge the urgency of the quantum security risk to Bitcoin. Millions of addresses could be at risk if quantum computers are eventually able to break Bitcoin’s cryptography.

For years, the conversation around quantum computing and cryptocurrency has been dominated by a single, breathless question: Will a quantum breakthrough kill Bitcoin? The fear is simple enough.

What is the Q-Day prize? The Q-Day Prize is a challenge to make the Bitcoin network quantum resistant. On April 16, 2025, quantum computing-focused company Project 11 announced the “Q-Day Prize,” a ...

Investors recently learned that quantum computers could one day be used to steal Bitcoin. That isn't going to happen in the near future, if ever. But, during the panic of the recent sell off, some ...

The Bitcoin network took its first step towards quantum-computing resistance with the addition of BIP 360 to its repository.

Some Bitcoin developers are no longer arguing about whether quantum computing will break the network, but letting onlookers know how long it would take to prepare if it ever did. That shift was ...
