I edited OP to better illustrate evidence for claims.
I wonder what sort of equipment you'd use to check there isn't a magnetic field thst wouldn't itself create aagnetic field 😲...
Good question. Maybe one of the reasons the news story hasn't been widely circulated is it will fail to hold up under scrutiny if subject to peer review. That's what I would expect although I can't claim to have the physics background to put everything into perspective the way it should.
I do think the nsa should hurry up on that front, or maybe someone like semantec and cloud flare could bother to make a partnership of a secure signature algorithm...
This is an example of why encryption algorithms developed by intelligence agencies should NEVER be utilized if security is the goal.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/national-security/cia-crypto-encryption-machines-espionage/I think general uncertainty on the markets due to a certain pandemic is more likely to blame than anything quantum related.
You know what also happened during the day of the big red spike? The US closing their borders to Europe.
It has been said russia and singapore are having success keeping the virus contained. Thanks to their closed border policy. If that is true, shouldn't bitcoin's price have risen after the united states closed their borders as well. As we are now seeing canada and other nations follow suit in limiting travel and closing borders.
this is the conclusion of the article:
“This landmark result will open up a treasure trove of discoveries and applications,” says Professor Morello. “The system we created has enough complexity to study how the classical world we experience every day emerges from the quantum realm. Moreover, we can use its quantum complexity to build sensors of electromagnetic fields with vastly improved sensitivity. And all this, in a simple electronic device made in silicon, controlled with small voltages applied to a metal electrode.”
what does this mean in terms of qubit processing? what real applications does this have? does this actually represent a threat to bitcoin and other encrypted protocols?
Quantum computing is no nearer to progressing from a vaporware pipe dream to reality, in my opinion. I think these news stories are simply a method of helping to conceal anti bitcoin market manipulation being orchestrated by banking cartels and their associates.
One core foundation of crypto could be the encryption standards upon which it is built. It loosely follows that developments which threaten that core foundation might have negative effects on bitcoin price. But I think everyone knows that shouldn't naturally happen to such a significant degree without a better proof of concept.
Market manipulation is my best guess. Although I can't claim to have hard evidence.
