[Verse 1] Fifty to a thousand qubits in a row Not quite perfect but they're all we know Intermediate scale with noise inside Current quantum tech we can't hide Coherence fades in microseconds flat Error rates are high but we work with that [Chorus] NISQ era, noisy and near Intermediate scale quantum is here Fifty to thousand, noisy but real Current quantum computers we feel NISQ era, making it work Despite the noise and quantum quirk [Verse 2] Decoherence kills our quantum states Before our algorithms calculate Shallow circuits keep the errors low Variational methods help us go Quantum supremacy in narrow domains While classical computing still remains [Chorus] NISQ era, noisy and near Intermediate scale quantum is here Fifty to thousand, noisy but real Current quantum computers we feel NISQ era, making it work Despite the noise and quantum quirk [Bridge] Hybrid algorithms bridge the gap Classical processing fills the map Error mitigation schemes deployed Until fault tolerance is enjoyed Chemistry problems we can explore Optimization tasks and so much more [Verse 3] Google's Sycamore, IBM's machines Quantum advantage in specific scenes Not universal yet but getting close Limited coherence hurts us most NISQ devices pave the quantum way To fault-tolerant computing someday [Chorus] NISQ era, noisy and near Intermediate scale quantum is here Fifty to thousand, noisy but real Current quantum computers we feel NISQ era, making it work Despite the noise and quantum quirk [Outro] Current reality of quantum dreams Noisy intermediate-scale machines Building blocks for the future bright NISQ era quantum takes its flight
