[Verse 1] There's a storm brewing in silicon halls Shor's algorithm cracking our walls Factoring numbers at quantum speed RSA crumbles like autumn leaves Grover's searching through encrypted vaults Finding keys, exposing faults Square root faster than we ever dreamed Nothing's safe, or so it seems [Chorus] Fourteen hundred qubits coming for your keys Six thousand more will bring you to your knees Fifty logical will break what we believe Harvest now, decrypt later, watch us bleed Physical to logical, the bridge they're building fast Current crypto won't survive this quantum blast [Verse 2] Ion traps and superconducting rings IBM's timeline, the future it brings Physical qubits, fragile and loud Need error correction to stand proud One million noisy becomes one clean The ratio's harsh but the goal's pristine IonQ's roadmap stretching ahead While our defenses hang by a thread [Chorus] Fourteen hundred qubits coming for your keys Six thousand more will bring you to your knees Fifty logical will break what we believe Harvest now, decrypt later, watch us bleed Physical to logical, the bridge they're building fast Current crypto won't survive this quantum blast [Verse 3] RSA depends on prime factorization ECC rides discrete logarithm temptation Bitcoin wallets built on elliptic curves When quantum strikes, no protocol preserves AES-256 becomes half its size Grover cuts security before your eyes Two fifty-six drops down to one twenty-eight Symmetric crypto meets its quantum fate [Bridge] But hope emerges from the lattice maze NIST standards lighting quantum-safe days FIPS 203, 204, 205 Keeping future secrets still alive Hash-based signatures, crystals arranged Mathematical problems never changed Lattice defenders standing at the gate Post-quantum armor sealing up our fate [Outro] Foundation laid in these four weeks Understanding what the future seeks From threat to hardware, crypto's fall To new defenses protecting all
