Google has teamed up with the University of Texas and the Czech Academy of Sciences to create a theoretical framework: quantum currency. This approach is based on the quantum no-cloning theorem, and the core idea is to use physical laws to naturally prevent double spending in digital money, essentially discarding the logic of the distributed ledger that blockchain relies on.

Sounds impressive, but to be honest, it's all just on paper. This system requires extremely powerful quantum computing and quantum communication capabilities, which are currently not feasible. The research paper is titled "Anonymous Quantum Tokens with Classical Verification," which discusses making digital tokens into quantum objects that cannot be duplicated at all.

The interesting point is that if this can really be implemented, it could indeed rewrite the rules of the game for digital money. However, the infrastructure for quantum technology is still too immature at this stage, so don't expect it to replace Blockchain in the short term.
