What is the Q-Day prize? The Q-Day Prize is a challenge to make the Bitcoin network quantum resistant. On April 16, 2025, quantum computing-focused company Project 11 announced the “Q-Day Prize,” a ...

New research says today’s quantum computers are far too weak to threaten Bitcoin’s cryptography, leaving the network years to prepare.

The company’s technology centers on particles that are cooled to near absolute zero and controlled by lasers.

The trailing 12-month returns for IonQ, Rigetti Computing, and D-Wave Quantum make clear that investors are excited about the ...

A CoinShares report finds that quantum computing risk to Bitcoin remains distant, with less than 0.1% of BTC potentially exposed.

While it's no replacement for either computer, the new device is a powerful alternative for addressing some very practical ...
