Google ’s new quantum chip, Willow , drastically reduces computation times.

Its speed and accuracy could theoretically provide hackers with the tools to unlock the algorithms that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are built upon.

But Google says it is still 10 years away from quantum that can decode crypto, and new quantum-safe cryptocurrencies may emerge.

Quantum -safe cryptos will have to evolve to ward off qubits, expert says.

Breakthroughs will make devices and software faster, revolutionize AI , and improve data security with ultra-secure encryption methods.

In everyday life, there will be advances in computing, healthcare , energy, and security.
