Alice & Bob Estimates Fewer Qubits Needed to Break Bitcoin Cryptography
Quantum computing company Alice & Bob has announced that a fault-tolerant quantum computer with approximately 29,588 physical qubits could solve a 256-bit elliptic-curve cryptography problem in just 61.8 minutes, significantly reducing the number of qubits previously required. This update adds urgency to efforts to prepare the Bitcoin network for a post-quantum future.
