Musk says even lost BTC wallets will one day open as Google reignites quantum debate
Elon Musk (일론 머스크) joined a renewed debate over whether quantum computers could crack Bitcoin encryption, saying even wallets with forgotten passwords may become accessible one day. The discussion resurfaced after summaries of Google research spread again on social media, including a post claiming Google cut required resources by 20 times. Google set 2029 as a target to complete a shift to post-quantum cryptography, and a paper suggested ECC-256 could be broken with under 500,000 physical qubits.

Google names XRP as leader in quantum-resistant blockchain tech
Google-backed research warned that if quantum computing advances faster than expected, security systems for major blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum could be neutralised quickly. The study said elliptic-curve cryptography could be broken rapidly once quantum computing passes a threshold, and raised an on-spend interception scenario during transaction processing. The report cited the XRP Ledger as one of few blockchains testing quantum-resistant approaches, including key rotation, while noting this does not fully solve the threat.

KAIST professor involved in TurboQuant development says it will be core basis for running large-scale AI models
Google Research and others have unveiled TurboQuant, a technology aimed at easing AI bottlenecks by improving memory efficiency by up to six times. KAIST said Han Insoo of its Department of Electrical Engineering participated in the work with a joint team from Google Research, DeepMind and New York University. KAIST said TurboQuant compresses internal model information with little accuracy loss and addresses memory bottlenecks during AI inference.
