ChainThink report, October 23, according to Decrypt, Google's latest quantum processor has achieved a goal that physicists have pursued for decades: an empirical breakthrough in computational speed surpassing the world's most powerful supercomputer. This also means that the long-standing concern about quantum computing's threat to Bitcoin is becoming more real than ever before.

According to a study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, Google's 105-qubit "Willow" chip successfully executed a physical algorithm at a speed faster than any classical computer — this is the first experimental verification of quantum advantage on real hardware.

Although this peer-reviewed achievement has limited applications, its significance is profound: it indicates that quantum processors are gradually approaching practical reliability, and it means that one day they may have the capability to break the cryptographic technologies protecting Bitcoin and other digital assets.
