Google has made a quantum computing breakthrough with a new chip Willow đ„
It can solve hard computational problems in under five minutes â a process that would otherwise take the leading supercomputer 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (ten septillion) years đź
Many have begun to worry about whether such quantum computers will become a threat to encryption algorithms and blockchains.
But don't worry, your crypto is secure đ
âą Decrypting a Bitcoin private key in 24 hours would require a quantum computer with at least 13 million qubits.
âą This new Willow computer has only 105 qubits.
