Abstract
"Quantum computers provide efficiency advantages over their classical counterparts, for various computational problems. One such problem is “mining” cryptocurrencies. Mining is the process, in Proof-of-Work (PoW) cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, by which individuals are rewarded for solving computationally hard problems. It has been stated that quantum miners could have a computational advantage over classical ones. In this work, we develop an explicit quantum algorithm for performing proof-of-work".
