This might be interesting for you and help to put these pieces together to understand better risks to Bitcoin coming from Quantum Computing. Below is a quote from an internal Google meeting held in October 2019. This is the only quote that caught my attention and I wrote it down.
"Quantum computing requires us to be able to encode classical Cube code into super-positional quantum state, this itself could take an exponential amount of time and ruin our quantum speed up."
I'm not an expert in this field, and perhaps it's no longer an issue. My very simple understanding is that QC beside doing simple math which is being demonstrated by leading corporations, to crack a serious problem, also needs an equation (like a program) to be modeled first, referred here as classical Cube code. But I could be very wrong here. It would be nice os someone could confirm/deny my understanding.
Regards
