How to Build a Quantum Blockchain:
Researchers Test a Blockchain that Only Quantum Computers can Mine, this is going to change how secure transaction will be processed.
- Researchers at D-Wave have developed and tested a blockchain prototype that uses quantum computers to perform mining through a new consensus method called proof of quantum work.
- The system replaces energy-intensive classical mining with quantum computations that are infeasible for classical machines, achieving stable operation across four quantum processors.
- Experimental results show the blockchain maintained consensus and reached up to 75% mining efficiency, demonstrating a potential path toward scalable and energy-efficient blockchain infrastructure.
