A paper shared with CoinDesk says human researchers and AI agents outperformed Google’s March result on a core calculation used in Shor’s algorithm. The result led crypto researchers to cut their estimate for when quantum attacks could threaten Bitcoin and Ethereum by 50%. It also adds a new variable to the industry’s so-called quantum clock, a rough measure of progress in quantum computing as it relates to cryptographic risk. The report centers on a technical benchmark tied to Shor’s algorithm, which is often discussed in the context of breaking cryptographic systems. CoinDesk cited the paper as the basis for the revised estimate.
Crypto researchers have cut their estimate for when quantum attacks could threaten Bitcoin and Ethereum by 50%, according to a paper shared with CoinDesk.
The paper says humans and AI agents beat Google’s March result on a core calculation used by Shor’s algorithm. That result adds another variable to crypto’s quantum clock, the industry’s running measure of quantum-related risk to existing cryptography.
