Surmount Systems

Bitcoin Initiative for Quantum Security

Doing everything needed to make Bitcoin quantum secure

[Bitcoin Takeover (BTCTKVR.com) @BTCTKVR]

Welcome to the next Hot Episode release.

The guest is none other than @cryptoquick, author of author of BIP360 to make Bitcoin quantum resistant. He is also the CTO at @SurmountSystems.

The episode also features recent guest and former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès/ @MagicalTux.

Some of the hot topics touched on.

🪻Surmount Systems' Fundraising and Mission
🪻The Debate on Satoshi's Coins
🪻Quantum Resistance and BIP32 HD Wallets
🪻US Government and Quantum Computing
🪻Upcoming Ecash Fork

Look who stopped by the office!

Great to chat with Hunter Beast (@cryptoquick, @SurmountSystems) and Theo Fields (@theobcvc) on the latest happenings in the quantum and crypto spaces!

You may recognize Hunter from his work on a certain Google paper that has been all the rage in crypto lately 👀

[Hunter Beast 🕯️ @cryptoquick]

Great news everyone! The BIP 360 workshop at @tabconf went very well today and we were able to demonstrate several working SLH-DSA transactions to Pay to Tapscript Hash addresses on our signet instance!

Quantum computing is no longer science fiction.
If it scales, what does it mean for Bitcoin security?

Charlie was worried about the quantum threat to Bitcoin. Watch this clip.

We will have a solution. For you, Charlie.

Hey @stevetipp, you're even in the Spanish news 👏

He recently broke a 6 bit ECC key with IBM's 133 qubit quantum computer.

Just published my first BIP 360 article!

[PsiQuantum @PsiQuantum]

In true Silicon Valley fashion, PsiQuantum has evolved from converted office space to operating in national labs and tier-1 semiconductor fabs.

Our new Bay Area facility provides the controlled environment, space, and power our test and assembly teams need—enabling mass production of sub-assemblies and raw materials, and set to host our largest intermediate systems yet.

[Project Eleven @projecteleven]

Published today: 2 papers showing major advancements in neutral atom quantum computing from the Lukin group at Harvard.

1) Continuous operation of a coherent, *3,000* qubit system.

2) An architecture for universal, fault-tolerant quantum computing

The prior SOTA was a 256-qubit machine from the same Harvard / QuEra team. 3000 qubits is a >10x leap.

On a smaller, 448-qubit machine, they perform 27-step circuits on logical qubits - taking a step beyond @Google's Willow work last December.

[Anduro @andurobtc]

10M BTC addresses with a non-zero balance are quantum vulnerable, according to @projecteleven

[Anduro @andurobtc]

Vacuum tubes → transistors → integrated circuits → microprocessors → today

In the 1950s, computers switched from vacuum tubes to transistors, becoming:

– 10× faster
– 50× smaller
– 50× cheaper

Just four years later, integrated circuits leveled things up again.

~13 years after that, microprocessors scaled it all down to a single chip, laying the foundation for modern computing.

⚛️ Quantum computing is now at that same vacuum-to-transistor stage -- paving the way toward a future we might not even be able to imagine.

[Surmount Systems @SurmountSystems]

Some will see the work that we're doing on BIP-360 as preventing an imaginary threat to an imaginary money.

Yet-- the $40 billion invested into quantum computing is a potential threat to a $2 trillion dollar asset.
