Startling research from Google suggests that quantum computers could crack Bitcoin's encryption far more quickly than previously estimated. The necessary quantum resources for breaking RSA encryption have dropped by a factor of 20, now requiring less than 1 million qubits instead of the former 20 million. This dramatically reduced requirement means the hacking process could potentially take mere days, presenting a worrying trend despite current quantum computers like IBM's 1,121-qubit Condor still being a long way off.
