Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When quantum computers come to play
Our crypto locks might break away
NIST stepped up to save the day
With standards that are here to stay
FIPS two-oh-three for keys so strong
ML-KEM keeps secrets safe for long
And FIPS two-oh-four signs the way
ML-DSA protects what we say

[Chorus]
Read the roadmaps, study well
NIST and Ion Q will tell
IBM and research too
Quantum future's calling you
Post-quantum crypto's the key
Essential readings set you free
From FIPS to papers new
These resources will guide you through

[Verse 2]
Gidney twenty-twenty-five shows us how
Quantum algorithms breaking down
The math behind the quantum power
Research insights every hour
Ion Q's roadmap leads ahead
Quantum systems they have bred
Logical qubits in their plan
Fault-tolerant quantum span

[Chorus]
Read the roadmaps, study well
NIST and Ion Q will tell
IBM and research too
Quantum future's calling you
Post-quantum crypto's the key
Essential readings set you free
From FIPS to papers new
These resources will guide you through

[Bridge]
IBM's quantum journey unfolds
Modular systems they've been sold
Forescout warns of crypto's end
PQC migration we must tend
Standards high and medium low
Priority tells us where to go
Industry meets the research ground
Essential knowledge to be found

[Chorus]
Read the roadmaps, study well
NIST and Ion Q will tell
IBM and research too
Quantum future's calling you
Post-quantum crypto's the key
Essential readings set you free
From FIPS to papers new
These resources will guide you through

[Outro]
Start with NIST then expand your mind
Ion Q roadmaps you will find
Essential readings pave the way
To quantum's bright tomorrow day
