DESCRIPTION:Given the amount of funding and research that recently goes i
 nto quantum computers\, it seems inevitable that at some point in the (n
 ear) future these machines will become a reality. With my physicist's ha
 t on\, this is exciting and amazing news\, but as a cryptographer this i
 s a nightmare. Most of our most efficient and widely used signature sche
 mes would just go away in the blink of an eye.\nIs this the case for Bit
 coin? Can we do anything to move Bitcoin to the Post-Quantum Era?\nIn th
 is talk\, I present the basic principles Quantum Computers rely on to pe
 rform certain calculations much faster than classical computers. We give
  a beginner’s explanation to some quantum algorithms that can undermine 
 Bitcoin’s security and show how they can be used to hijack transactions.
  Finally\, I present a protocol upgrade for Bitcoin that allows users to
  securely transition their funds to quantum resistant wallets even in th
 e presence of a quantum computer!
