[Verse 1]
In silicon halls where circuits run
Classical bits dance one by one
Zero or one, they march in line
Through logic gates in measured time
Each calculation step by step
While exponential problems creep

[Chorus]
Classical power grows by addition
Quantum leaps through superposition
N to the third versus two to the N
That's the difference, count to ten
Bits are binary, qubits fly
Classical crawls while quantum's high

[Verse 2]
RSA locks with numbers prime
Classical search takes exponential time
Million years to break the code
Following each algorithmic road
But quantum states can test them all
Shor's algorithm breaks the wall

[Chorus]
Classical power grows by addition
Quantum leaps through superposition
N to the third versus two to the N
That's the difference, count to ten
Bits are binary, qubits fly
Classical crawls while quantum's high

[Bridge]
Entangled pairs and interference
Grover's search shows the difference
Square root speedup for the finding
While classical keeps rewinding
Polynomial versus exponential race
Quantum advantage sets the pace

[Verse 3]
AES encryption holds its ground
Quantum gives advantage halved around
From two-fifty-six to one-twenty-eight
Security levels must update
Not every problem quantum wins
But crypto's where the threat begins

[Chorus]
Classical power grows by addition
Quantum leaps through superposition
N to the third versus two to the N
That's the difference, count to ten
Bits are binary, qubits fly
Classical crawls while quantum's high

[Outro]
When quantum computers finally wake
Classical cryptography will break
The threat is real, the math is clear
Post-quantum crypto must be here
