Google's new Willow quantum chip significantly reduces errors in preparing 'magic states,' a crucial step in quantum computing that could eventually break Bitcoin wallet security. The chip achieves about 99.99% fidelity in these states but only succeeds in about 8% of attempts, highlighting ongoing challenges in scaling. This breakthrough improves the efficiency of quantum attacks by reducing hardware bottlenecks, though it does not directly make Bitcoin attacks 40 times cheaper. The development is important as older Bitcoin wallets with exposed public keys remain vulnerable to future quantum attacks, emphasizing the need for stronger cryptographic protections.
