No.
As much as time travel is.
Quantum can’t get past the X hurdle there is a computational point where continuing to split requires more computing power than the world can produce. That point is still more than 50% so… NO!
Important reminder, Quantum attacks remain purely theoretical— the existing quantum “computers” could not break your security if you gave them your seed phrase and private keys.
They can’t even do the forward elliptical curve calculation, let alone reverse.
Defending against theoretic attacks should remain purely theoretical. You can’t make a meaningful BIP without specific details of what a future quantum computer would do. It’s like trying to defend against laser guided missiles in the Stone Age.
Despite all the hype, we’re closer to cold fusion and Alcubierre warp drives than we are to stable qbits sufficient to attack weak versions of RSA, let alone Bitcoin’s elliptical curve.
Question: Do you agree with this blog? (If you have seen it..) https://scottlocklin.wordpress.com/2019/01/15/quantum-computing-as-a-field-is-obvious-bullshit/
I haven’t seen it. Seems slightly out of date but I’m not sure much has changed (maybe Google claiming they have up to 50 error correcting qbits)
Schrödinger’s UTXO is enough to disprove centralize quantum computing.
Continual Superpostion is an assumption based on an illusion, it’s never been proven. Discrete superposition between the quantum of time would break all centralized quantum computing models.
The true state of quantum “computers”:

Less effective than an abacus or a trained dog.

No 😑 Lopp is the quantum threat.
