Artificial intelligence is speeding up the pace of research into quantum computers. Last week, the estimated timeline for Q Day โ the date a cryptographically relevant computer is able to break encryption โ grew significantly shorter thanks to research papers from Google and the Caltech-linked quantum startup Oratomic. Google got all the attention, but the Oratomic paper was even more significant and suggested that a quantum computer with just 10,000 neutral atom qubits could break Bitcoinโs ECDSA algorithm using an optimized version of Shorโs algorithm. Thatโs ten times fewer than…
