I had the great pleasure to give a talk about Blockchain and the threats to it by Quantum Computing. It was a co-meetup of Quantum Computing Vienna and DLT Austria (Blockchain, Crypto, DeFi, NFT, Web3) Community hosted by Lean Coders. Some impressions of the event…
And also the slides are here available for download:
In den Nachrichten wird viel über Quantencomputer und Quantentechnologie berichtet. Aus jeder Social-Media-Plattform wird es rausposaunt, quasi alle Medien berichten drüber. Die Berichterstattung ist enorm, die Investitionen von Unternehmen und Regierungen sind außerordentlich und die Erwartungen natürlich ebenso. Und dementsprechend vielschichtig sind auch die Überschriften, welche man findet.
In den Artikeln oder auch in Produktbeschreibungen wird versprochen, dass Quantencomputer alles andere in den Schatten stellen wird.… Read more » “5 Missverständnisse über Quantencomputer (Teil 1 von 2)”
Interesting paper on how quantum computing could help to provide a new POW for blockchain. If this is technically feasible is answered with

If you want to climb a mountain, you must start somewhere. Currently, or actually for the past some years already, my next “mountain” to climb is quantum technology.
My “foot of the mountain”, my starting point was not being a physicist with a PhD, or a mathematician knowing all the details about linear algebra or being an AI crack.… Read more » “Quantum technology… ain’t no mountain higher”
