This addresses mining efficiency for blockchain users, but appears incremental as it builds on existing quantum methods.
The paper tackles the problem of slow mining in blockchain by proposing a quantum-assisted approach, resulting in a speed-up using a modified Grover's algorithm.
Bitcoin and blockchain in general is a hot topic nowadays. In the paper we propose a quantum empowering of this technology and show how to speed-up the mining procedure using the modified Grover's algorithm.
