Caltech Research Shows Quantum Bitcoin Threat Could Arrive with 10,000 Qubits
A team from Caltech and startup Oratomic published research on March 31, 2026 demonstrating that a fault-tolerant quantum computer capable of running Shor’s algorithm could be built with as few as 10,000 physical qubits, dramatically reducing previous estimates that placed the requirement at one million qubits or higher.
