A paper shared with CoinDesk shows humans and AI agents beating Google’s March result on a core calculation used by Shor’s algorithm, adding another variable to crypto’s quantum clock.

The Spreading 'Quantum Threat Theory' and Overheated Media Narratives"Quantum computers will decrypt Bitcoin's encryption and destroy the blockchain"—this provocative warning has moved beyond mere urb ...

Bitcoin’s security relies on elliptic curve cryptography, a one-way mathematical function that makes deriving a private key from a public key effectively impossible for traditional computers. Shor’s ...

American investor and former pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli told host Isabel Foxen Duke that if quantum computing ever scales, Shor’s algorithm—not artificial intelligence (AI)—poses the most ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require nearly the resources anticipated just a year or two ago, two independently ...

Quantum computing advances raise concerns over 10,000 qubits breaking P‑256 encryption using Shor’s algorithm, driving urgency for quantum ECC attack awareness and post‑quantum migration strategies.

IonQ quantum computer research outlines a 19,397-qubit machine capable of solving Bitcoin's secp256k1 problem in 25.7 days.

Google says breaking Bitcoin's signatures needs fewer than 500,000 qubits. The best machines running today have about 2,500.

Quantum computers aren't here yet, but the threat to blockchain is real. Post-quantum security is a math problem, and here's ...
