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 […]

Can Neutral Atoms Change Computing Forever?
Can a quantum computer run at room temperature — without a golden chandelier of cryogenic cooling?In this episode of Impact Quantum, Frank La Vigne talks with Yuval Boger, Chief Commercial Officer of Quera Computing, about why neutral atom technology might just be the breakthrough the industry’s been waiting for. Have you ever watched a square […]
