BTQ proposes quantum-based Proof-of-Work to enhance blockchain security and energy efficiency

Quantum startup BTQ Technologies has introduced a novel Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism leveraging Coarse-Grained Boson Sampling (CGBS). The method, detailed in a peer-reviewed research paper, aims to provide a more energy-efficient alternative to traditional PoW while ensuring blockchain networks remain secure against quantum computing threats.
