Google stated that its Willow quantum chip reduces the error rate in preparing the special states (Magic States) required for quantum computing by about 40 times through a method called "Cultivation." The related research was published this week in Science, which is expected to lower the hardware costs of future large-scale quantum computers and draw more attention to the potential threat of cracking Bitcoin wallets.Magic States are a key resource needed to perform certain quantum computing operations, and their preparation process consumes a significant amount of hardware. Google's experiment achieved about 99.99% state fidelity, but only about 8% of attempts passed the screening. Researchers indicated that future experiments need to be scaled up and issues such as real-time operation and error correction need to be addressed. In March of this year, Google estimated that under specific hardware assumptions, future quantum computers might only need fewer than 500,000 physical qubits to crack the cryptography used in Bitcoin and Ethereum wallets.For Bitcoin, some early wallets' public keys have been public since their mining, theoretically making them targets for future quantum attacks; while wallets with undisclosed public keys may face different attack conditions. However, this breakthrough does not mean that quantum computers are capable of cracking Bitcoin. Google's previous cost estimates for attacks assumed the use of efficient Magic States preparation schemes, so this result cannot simply be understood as a 40-fold reduction in the cost of cracking Bitcoin. Research is still in the advancement stage of quantum hardware and error correction technology, and the complete equipment and engineering capabilities required for actual attacks have not yet been realized.

Google announced a breakthrough in the field of quantum computing, stating that its Willow chip has overcome a critical resource bottleneck.Google stated that a technology called magic state cultivation is now running on the Willow chip, reducing errors by approximately 40 times and achieving an accuracy of 99.99%. This research was published in the journal Science, and Google also mentioned that it still needs to prove the effectiveness of this technology under large-scale conditions.

Cryptocurrency analyst Darkfost stated that currently, above the price level of approximately $83,000, 53% of the invested capital is concentrated. This means that if Bitcoin is purchased at this level, the holding cost will be better than that of more than half of the investors.The range of $84,000 to $85,000 is the largest chip distribution cluster, and many investors react at this critical level, so this range is clearly the core resistance that Bitcoin must break through. Looking below, the range of $79,000 to $77,000 may become a support level. If the price cannot effectively break through $84,000-$85,000, the market may first retest this support area; however, once it stabilizes above the densely concentrated chip area, it means that the cost pressure for most holders has been digested, and the subsequent upward resistance will be significantly reduced.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin is facing selling pressure, marking the third time since September 23 that it has been blocked near $87,000. FxPro analyst Alex Kuptsikevich stated that since the beginning of last week, BTC has formed a trend of "gradually higher local lows," but bulls have not yet gained sufficient upward momentum.The current price is approaching the apex of a triangle formed by horizontal resistance and an ascending support line. If this pattern is broken, the market may experience greater volatility. The total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market has fallen back to about $2.93 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. stocks have performed strongly, with the Nasdaq 100 index reaching a new closing high and the S&P 500 index less than 0.5% away from its historical peak. However, U.S. Treasury yields continue to rise, with the 10-year Treasury yield climbing to 5.32%, close to its highest level since 2002.Market observers believe that for BTC to break through $87,000, sufficient buying pressure is needed to absorb the selling pressure that continues to appear around this price level. Once it stabilizes at this level, it may further open up space for movement towards an 8-month high.

According to a report by Reuters, Gao Yang, co-founder and chief scientist of the Chinese humanoid robot startup Spirit AI, stated that humanoid robots could complete most general tasks based on verbal instructions as early as next year, but it will take at least 8 more years to enter households. He mentioned that the brain is the weakest link in the entire robotics technology stack, and it is expected to reach a milestone similar to GPT-3.0 by mid-2027, allowing users to speak to robots in natural language and have them perform a series of reasonable physical actions to attempt to complete tasks.Spirit AI was founded in 2024, has about 300 employees, and raised $670 million in funding within two years, with a valuation of $2.9 billion. The company employs about 1,000 contractors who wear data collection devices at home or in factories, primarily relying on real-world data for training. The success rate for simple tasks in a structured living room environment is 90%. Currently, dozens of Moz1 wheeled humanoid robots are deployed on production lines at CATL and JD.com.Gao Yang stated that the next 1-2 years represent the initial window for industrial applications, and after two years, they can enter commercial service scenarios to perform simple tasks, but entering households will be more challenging. In terms of safety, full-body force control is implemented, and the robots will automatically engage emergency braking when encountering significant interaction forces. High-quality data is the main bottleneck for training the robot's brain.
