- Google quantum exec: US government funding would’ve come with ‘conditions’
Google declined funding from the Trump administration for quantum computing due to restrictive conditions, according to Google Quantum AI’s COO. The US government has allocated $2 billion to support quantum companies like IBM and PsiQuantum. Google advocates for increased government investment in basic quantum research and faces recruitment challenges amid tightened immigration policies.
- Colosseum Codex: Quantum Readiness, Multisig Tools, Agent Payments Protocol
Solana's quantum readiness plan is taking shape, with two core developer teams converging on a lattice-based signature scheme called Falcon. The Solana Foundation has outlined a phased roadmap for migration to post-quantum cryptography. Squads has released open-source multisig tools and OKX has launched the Agent Payments Protocol.
- Bitcoin’s Quantum Problem Is Really a Governance Crisis in Disguise: UTXO
Bitcoin's vulnerability to quantum computing threats is framed as a governance challenge rather than a technical one. Proposals like BIP-360 and Hourglass aim to mitigate risks, but debates persist over migrating legacy addresses and handling non-migratable coins like Satoshi Nakamoto's holdings.
- When Quantum Computers Come for Your Bitcoin: What Classical Property Law Says Happens Next
The article explores the legal and technical implications of quantum computing breaking Bitcoin's cryptographic security. It highlights BIP-361's proposal to freeze quantum-vulnerable UTXOs and argues classical property law would classify stealing Bitcoin via quantum means as theft, despite Bitcoin's control-based ownership model.
