Earlier this month, researchers claimed a major breakthrough had occurred for quantum computing in terms of proving a verifiable advantage over traditional computers. This was then followed up by Google last week, who claimed to show the first practical application of their quantum technology through the combination of its Willow chip with the Quantum Echoes algorithm.

Quantum computing is something that can be difficult to grasp, but a key area of importance in terms of this technology’s potential impact on the world is its theoretical ability to break much of the encryption that secures basically everything on the internet today. And yes, that includes Bitcoin.

In fact, Bitcoin has enabled a massive financial incentive to develop the first sufficiently-powerful quantum comp
