Google published a quantum paper breaking Bitcoin and Ethereum’s elliptic curve cryptography, but hid the key optimization behind a ZK proof at the U.S. government’s request. A French researcher cracked it in two months. A crowdsourced effort beat it further within hours.
Today a crazy quantum story just got wilder.
On March 31, the Google Quantum AI team published a landmark result on Shor's algorithm for elliptic curve cryptography. Technically, the paper was a bombshell: a dramatic 10x improvement over the state-of-the-art. As a stunt and
