Caltech researchers and startup Oratomic have drastically reduced the estimated quantum computer power needed to break Bitcoin's encryption from one million qubits to just 10,000. This breakthrough means quantum machines could threaten Bitcoin's security much sooner than previously thought, challenging the belief that such threats are decades away. The new method uses neutral atoms and laser-based techniques to improve error correction, making large-scale quantum attacks more feasible. Meanwhile, Google Quantum AI identified 6.7 million BTC in vulnerable addresses, highlighting the urgency for the Bitcoin community to address security and governance challenges before quantum computers become capable of attacks.
