Google’s Willow chip marks a quantum computing breakthrough, achieving scalable accuracy with advanced error correction. With 105 qubits, it paves the way for revolutionary applications in green energy solutions and other scientific discoveries, solving problems beyond classical computing. This milestone brings us closer to a future where quantum technology transforms industries and improves lives worldwide.
Quantum computing's potential is undoubtedly amazing, but its ability to break classical cryptography also brings significant risks — especially for systems like blockchain. While its capabilities remain largely theoretical, the risk is too great to ignore. Safeguards like quantum-resistant cryptography and secure consensus mechanisms are essential to protect critical infrastructure from even the possibility of catastrophic exploits. Safeguards must be implemented.
