A paper shared with CoinDesk shows humans and AI agents beating Google’s March result on a core calculation used by Shor’s algorithm, adding another variable to crypto’s quantum clock.
- Researchers cut the estimated resources needed for a key step in a future quantum attack on Bitcoin and Ethereum by more than half compared with a Google benchmark published in March.
- The work optimized a calculation used in Shor’s algorithm, which could allow a sufficiently powerful quantum computer to derive private keys from exposed public keys and forge transactions.
- No existing quantum computer can use the research to break either network, but the findings underscore the need to begin adopting quantum-resistant protections because upgrades could take years.
