I saw it in my feed.

I ended up missing my next meeting because I had to figure out how long will it take

for us to crack the encryption standards that we use for Bitcoin.

Here's the answer because I was so tilted by this idea.

So if you think of Willow as essentially like one stable, logical qubit equivalent in a chip,

we need about 4,000 to break RSA 2048, and we need about 8,000 to break

SHA-256, which is the underlying encryption framework for Bitcoin.

So I think you're right.

I think we're in the sort of like...

The end game?

Two to five-year shot clock.

No, I mean, I think what'll have to happen is some of these chains will need to

obviously re-implement something at a pretty foundational level.

The weird thing, as Freebrook says, is like, the Willow Chips error correction gets better,

the more of these things you start to use together.

Now, there's some really big problems inside these chips, like logical interconnects are very

complicated.

If you put two chips on a board, like the C2C communication is complex, all this stuff that
