Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

Is this for the three reasons you emphasize?

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

We've got breakthroughs and algorithms.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

We've got...

some fault detection, I think you called this, which allows us to scale logical qubits, which I think that is the main thing that must be scaled in order to break ECDSA and then also all of the billions in VC and funding that is poured into it.

Bankless

Wow.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

Okay.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

So governments are getting involved in this, it sounds like.

Bankless

So we're not actually sure all the work that's going on behind the scenes even.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

We're aware of the commercially viable work at this point.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

Okay.

Bankless

So on the logical qubit piece, you said we have like one logical qubit right now.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

There's physical qubits and logical qubits.

Bankless

And the thing to scale is logical qubits in order to break ECDSA.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

How many logical qubits do we actually need to break these algorithms?

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

Because that's a metric that I'm looking at.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

But is that even the right number to look at?

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

If we're at one, I've heard people talk about, well, you need 1,000 or maybe 1,500, something like this.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

Is this a number we should be paying attention to?

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

And what do you think about this?

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

And what are the scalars for each of those?
