ChainCatcher news, Google has announced the launch of its first quantum chip, Willow, raising concerns about the potential decryption of private keys to steal user funds.Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani wrote in a report that the 105-qubit chip is still far from the millions of qubits needed to actually attack the Bitcoin Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-256).The analyst stated, "Should Bitcoin contributors start preparing for a quantum future? Yes, but any actual threat to Bitcoin seems to be decades away."It is reported that ECDSA is a cryptographic algorithm used to protect private keys and enable digital signatures for Bitcoin transactions. SHA-256 ensures the integrity of the Bitcoin ledger by hashing transaction data, playing a crucial role in the mining process through Bitcoin's proof-of-work mechanism.

ChainCatcher news, Google (GOOG.O) CEO Sundar Pichai stated that its newly released quantum computing chip Willow is an important step in building useful quantum computers, with practical applications in drug discovery, fusion energy, battery design, and more. Its breakthrough can exponentially reduce errors as we use more qubits, solving a challenge that has persisted in the field for 30 years.In benchmark tests, Willow completed a "standard benchmark computation" in less than five minutes, while even the fastest supercomputers today would take "10 to the power of 25" years to complete this computation ------ a number far exceeding the age of the universe.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jin10 reports, the new EU Commissioner for Competition, Margrethe Vestager, stated that the potential breakup of Google's business is still under consideration.
