Google Quantum AI achieved a 40-fold error reduction on its Willow quantum processor using magic state distillation, reaching 99.99% logical fidelity but retaining only 8% of attempts. This breakthrough highlights the growing quantum computing power that could threaten Bitcoin's digital signatures in the future, as previously estimated by Google researchers. Coinbase has urged Bitcoin developers to prepare quantum-resistant upgrades now, while Starknet is exploring becoming a quantum-resistant independent blockchain by 2027. The quantum threat to Bitcoin and other networks underscores the need for early security planning and upgrades to protect digital assets.
