- Abstract: Recently, the invention of quantum computers was so revolutionary that they bring transformative challenges in a variety of fields, especially for the traditional cryptographic blockchain, and it may become a real thread for most of the cryptocurrencies in the market. That is, it becomes inevitable to consider to implement a post-quantum cryptography, which is also referred to as quantum-resistant cryptography, for attaining quantum resistance in blockchains.

A proof of work (PoW) is an important cryptographic construct enabling a party to convince others that they invested some effort in solving a computational task.
In this work, we examine the hardness of finding such chain of PoWs against quantum strategies.
We prove that the chain of PoWs problem reduces to a problem we call multi-solution Bernoulli search, for which we establish its quantum query complexity.
