Title: Quantum Error Correction, Hashing, & Quantum Teleportation
Post by: Geremia on March 22, 2015, 03:24:54 AM
These are two areas I foresee quantum computing affecting Bitcoin:
  • Quantum computers can do hashing (cf. Quantum Error Correction (https://books.google.com/books?id=-s4DEy7o-a0C&pg=PA425)).
  • Quantum teleportation (http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2015/feb/27/two-quantum-properties-teleported-together-for-first-time) will revolutionize distribution of the blockchain.
(cf. this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=133425))

The first is largely uninteresting (as explained in the linked thread), the second is irrelevant.

Both are off-topic for this subforum, at least in the above armwave and speculate form.

Could you relocate it to the appropriate subforum? thanks
