Charles Hoskinson says quantum computers likely to be commercialised before 2033, need to prepare now

Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano (ADA), warned there is more than a 50 percent chance quantum computers will pose a practical threat to cryptocurrencies before 2033. He said the risk should be treated as a near-term technical deadline. Cardano is pushing a shift to lattice-based cryptography and plans to reflect U.S. NIST post-quantum standards, including FIPS 203 to 205. Similar preparations are under way at Solana.

China unveils 200-qubit dual-core quantum computer Hanyuan-2 but omits key performance metrics

China has unveiled a 200-qubit neutral-atom quantum computer called Hanyuan-2, claiming it is the world’s first to implement a dual-core quantum computing architecture. The system integrates two independently operating neutral-atom arrays in a single rack-sized unit, using rubidium-87 and rubidium-85 atoms. The company also highlighted installation and power features, saying it runs without complex cryogenic equipment and consumes less than 7 kW. Industry watchers note key benchmarks and peer-reviewed papers have not been released.
