Google's news about a technological advance in quantum computing created a lot of FUD about its impact on Bitcoin. While Google's new Willow chip is still years, if not decades, away from impacting Bitcoin, it raises a legitimate question: What will quantum computing do to Bitcoin? Short answer: Bitcoin will adapt.

Chris Caso, Wolfe Research senior analyst, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss the state of the chips sector, impact of AI, U.S. export controls on AI chips to China, and more.
Errors in quantum computers are an obstacle for their widespread use. But a team of scientists say that, by using an antimony atom and the Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment, they could have found a way to stop them.
Marco Iachini, Senior Vice President of Research at Vanda Research, discusses the behavior of retail traders, particularly those using taxable brokerage accounts like Robinhood. He notes a shift in retail investor interest towards quantum computing within the broader AI theme,
Shares of quantum computing company IonQ ( IONQ 5.48%) raced higher this week. The stock was up by 28.5% as of Friday morning, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
First proposed in 1935 by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, "Schrödinger's cat" was designed to highlight the physicist's concerns with one interpretation of quantum mechanics—the then relatively new theory that explains how matter behaves at the atomic (and smaller) scale.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang may have said that "very useful quantum computers" are probably still 20 years away, but his company is also hedging its bets
Quantum Computing Inc (QUBT) stock saw a decline, ending the day at $10.88 which represents a decrease of $-0.67 or -5.80% from the prior close of $11.55. The stock opened at $12.35 and touched a low of $10.
Stocks of quantum computing companies jumped Wednesday after Microsoft declared this as “the year to become quantum-ready,” adding “we are at the advent of the reliable quantum computing era.” Shares of Rigetti Computing and D-Wave Quantum were both up more than 22 percent.
This is what's happening on Wednesday, as quantum computing investors cheer some kind words from Microsoft's strategic missions and technologies chief, Mitra Azizirad, who last night urged quantum investors to get ready, because "we are right on the cusp of seeing quantum computers solve meaningful problems and capture new business value."
While quantum computing offers long-term transformative promise, robotics provides clear, near-term returns, creating complementary paths for investors balancing vision with immediacy.
Jensen Huang’s comments at last week’s CES about quantum computing being decades away stirred up discussion within the quantum industry.
