Quantum Computing Meets Blockchain: Scientists Propose New Version of Proof of Work Consensus – Future of Crypto?

A newly published research paper from a team of researchers from Australian and American universities, in collaboration with quantum technology company BTQ, has proposed a new approach to the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism based on boson sampling. The proposed proof-of-work system, known as "proof-of-work consensus by quantum sampling," leverages quantum computing techniques to achieve faster and more energy-efficient validation of consensus....
