INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The idea, proposed by researchers at the Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, would secure cryptocurrency futures for decades
A blockchain stores every transaction in a system on what amounts to an immutable record of events
The work necessary for maintaining and confirming this immutable record is what is commonly known as mining
in an era of quantum computers.Therefore the solution to store a blockchain in a quantum era requires a quantum blockchain using a series of
It is shown that the entanglement in time, as opposed to an entanglement in space, provides the crucial quantum advantage
All the subcomponents of this system have already been shown to be experimentally realized
Perhaps more shockingly, our encoding procedure can be interpreted as non-classically influencing the past; hence this decentralized quantum
blockchain can be viewed as a quantum networked time machine.In short, the quantum blockchain is immutable because the photons that it
contains do not exist at the current time but are still extant and readable
blockchain into these temporally entangled states, which can then be integrated into a quantum network for further useful operations
We will also show that entanglement in time, as opposed to entanglement in space, plays the pivotal role for the quantum benefit over a
Furthermore, if such a quantum blockchain were to be constructed, we will show that it could be viewed as a quantum networked time
This process is still theoretical and not at all available to mere mortals
