Attacking bitcoin mining with a quantum computer would require the energy of a star, academics say
A recent study by academics has concluded that using a quantum computer to attack Bitcoin mining would demand an astronomical amount of energy, equivalent to that of a star. The researchers emphasized that the current quantum technology is far from capable of posing a threat to Bitcoin's security. They highlighted that even with advancements in quantum computing, the energy requirements for such an attack would remain prohibitively high. This finding reassures Bitcoin users about the resilience of the network against potential quantum threats for the foreseeable future.
