Google warned that quantum advances could break crypto security sooner than expected, with analysts recommending ‘appropriate urgency.’

A method reduces the number of qubits needed for quantum computers, making practical machines possible sooner and affecting computing.

Scientists at California Institute of Technology and startup Oratomic have developed a method to

Google Quantum just cut the qubit requirement to break Bitcoin encryption by 20x, and 6.7 million crypto addresses are in risk.
