⚗️Google Clears a Major Quantum Hurdle, Bitcoin Still Safe

Eight days ago an Ethereum researcher told large holders to move their coins. Today Google published a result that makes him look less paranoid and more early.

Google Quantum AI cut a critical class of quantum errors roughly 40-fold on its Willow chip, per a new paper in Science. The technique attacks what may be quantum computing’s single biggest tax - producing the clean, single-use resources certain operations need, which by some estimates eats up to 95% of a machine’s capacity. Instead of building dedicated qubit factories to purify them, Google filters: inject a rough state, run it through a gauntlet of checks, throw out the 92% that fail. What survives hits 99.99% fidelity.
