What Quantum Means For Bitcoin’s Future

I guess incrementally during 2026, we've seen the, um, we caught up on the progress on neutral atoms, which seems to be, uh, more optimistic and although it doesn't permit for short-range attacks, it seems to be scaling faster than superconducting, which is Google's technology.

David PuellGUEST
Um, so this one could, could have a base case of Q day a little bit, uh, i- in a shorter timeframe, uh, going into the 2030s or so.

David PuellGUEST
There's also seem, seems to be incremental progress on error correction, especially during 2025, uh, to today relative to the past.

David PuellGUEST
And also, you know, the Google paper, I think what, what scared the most people is that i- in, in the highest optimizations, um, they theorize could, you know, uh, allow for fast clock or very quick sub 10-minute attacks on the network, which presents an existential risk as opposed to just attacking normal coins.

David PuellGUEST
Basically, there seems to be, as of now, a bifurcation path between the type of qubit, which is very relevant depending if you're dealing with fast clock or slow clock attacks.

David PuellGUEST
The bifurcation is on the fast side superconducting and perhaps photonics, and on the other side, the slow clock would be neutral atoms, which is a very, apparently a very new and scalable tech coming, coming online in the last few years.

David PuellGUEST
Perhaps you can, like, tell us a little bit about that bifurcation and why not necessarily you will see one first and have years apart between mempool attacks and dormant coin attacks.

And it also plays into-- Culture is game theoretical, right? So I know for many hardcore, um, people in the Bitcoin maxi side, let's say, including devs, would for sure, uh, open their ears a little bit more to an inference from Satoshi, especially because, I mean, Bitcoin has become kind of a culture in that way.
