Making Bitcoin Quantum: A Cryptocurrency Based on the Laws of Physics
This webinar will provide a better understanding of the Quantum Bitcoin initiative.
Quantum money is a unique application of quantum technology where the laws of physics can give us unforgeable money. Although practical realizations of quantum money (and quantum computers) are years away, there are a number of interesting properties that are being investigated. Until recently, quantum money schemes used a centralized model with a central mint being the only authority that can create new currency. The recent proposal of Quantum Bitcoin, however, combines quantum technology with a blockchain that allows the system to adopt a decentralized model similar to Bitcoin.
