The question lingers in the tech sphere: Could a quantum computer eventually break Bitcoin? Recent calculations have put a surprisingly concrete number on the problem—around 20,000 physical qubits and 25.7 days using a specific fault-tolerant trapped-ion architecture. While such a machine doesn’t exist today, this projection transforms a theoretical cybersecurity concern into a clear engineering […]
