Germany Pouring $40M+ Into Quantum Computing Technology
Germany Pouring $40M+ Into Quantum Computing Technology. Jülich Forschungszentrum, one of Germany’s premier research and development centers, will receive a $40M+ infusion of German government funding to advance, in part, quantum computing technologies. “…[T]he funds will be applied to research in a number of quantum-based technologies – primarily, computing, communication and storage.” One of the primary […]
How Quantum Computing Could Affect Bitcoin and Blockchain
How Quantum Computing Could Affect Bitcoin and Blockchain. Shor’s algorithm enables quantum computers to drastically reduce “the time required to factorize the product of two primes.” The algorithm, when executed with a quantum computer, derives a private key from a public key in a predicted few minutes vice the ‘millions of years’ with classical systems. Bitcoins […]
