GOOGLE’S “WILLOW” QUANTUM CHIP MAKES CLASSICAL COMPUTERS LOOK LIKE DINOSAURS!

Google just flexed its Quantum AI muscles, claiming its “Willow” chip solved in 5 minutes what classical computers couldn’t crack in billions of years. Yes, billions!

The 105-qubit chip brings insane error-correction, focusing on stability rather than just stacking more qubits. The result? A leap toward practical quantum computing that could revolutionize medicine, AI, and energy in the near future.

Forget more qubits—Google’s playing smart, not flashy. The quantum race is heating up, and Willow might just be the ace in the hole.

Ummmm- how does this impact Bitcoin and encryption?

More optimal correction code approaches allow QCs to use fewer physical qubits to make logical qubits. Once they have enough logical qubits, they can break crypto.

At 105 qubits, we're still pretty far from that, though. It depends how efficient they are, but it'll probably require millions of physical qubits and thousands of logical qubits.

Google Willow Quantum vs Bitcoin Encryption

Today, Google announced that Willow has reached 105 qubits with improved error rates. Should Bitcoiners worry?

🚫 Short Answer: No.

🔒 Bitcoin relies on two types of encryption:

1️⃣ ECDSA 256: Vulnerable to "Shor’s algorithm," but cracking it would require over 1,000,000 qubits. Willow’s 105 isn’t even close.

2️⃣ SHA-256: Even tougher—requires a different approach (Grover’s algorithm) and millions of physical qubits to pose a real threat.

Bitcoin’s cryptography remains SAFU... for now.
