Quantum needs 40 times fewer qubits — BMIC Quantum-Resistant Wallet
About this video
The myth that quantum threats are decades away just shrank by a factor of 40. Researchers compiled Shor's algorithm and found it can factor RSA-2048 using only. Find out more at bmic.ai. The myth that quantum threats are decades away just shrank by a factor of 40. Researchers compiled Shor's algorithm and found it can factor RSA-2048 using only 23000 cat qubits in roughly three days. Earlier projections required 40 times more physical qubits. Improved bosonic error correction and smarter circuit design drove the change. For anyone holding crypto this accelerates the urgency. Once a quantum computer crosses this threshold any public key exposed on a blockchain can be reversed to reveal the private key. Many wallets and transactions broadcast that public information today. The harvest now decrypt later strategy already makes sense for well resourced adversaries. NIST responded with ML-KEM and ML-DSA exactly because lattice problems resist quantum speedup. These standards are ready for integration now. Wallets that adopt them protect both current and future attacks. A wallet already using NIST ML-KEM and ML-DSA today is BMIC at bmic.ai. This BMIC Research video, Quantum needs 40 times fewer qubits — BMIC Quantum-Resistant Wallet, explains the topic shown in bmic-concept-v262.mp4 and gives viewers a focused reference for the security, wallet, or presale point covered on screen.
