BlockBeats News, October 23rd, according to Decrypt's report, Google's latest quantum processor has achieved a goal pursued by physicists for decades: a tangible breakthrough in computation speed surpassing the world's most powerful supercomputers. This also means that the long-feared threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin seems to be becoming more real than ever.

According to a study published on Wednesday in the journal Nature, Google's 105-qubit "Willow" chip has successfully run a physical algorithm at a speed faster than any classical computer, marking the first experimental validation of quantum advantage on real hardware.

Although the application scope of this peer-reviewed achievement is still limited, its significance is profound: it indicates that quantum processors are gradually approaching the reliability for practical applications, and it also suggests that someday in the future, they may have the capability to break the encryption technology protecting Bitcoin and other digital assets.
