[Verse 1] Four players in the quantum race tonight Each one's got a different way to fight Ion Q with trapped ions shining bright LightSync connecting qubits with the light IBM's got superconducting flow Transmon qubits making currents go Google's Willow chip is stealing shows Error correction is the way it grows [Chorus] Hardware players, quantum makers Ion Q and IBM are never fakers Never missed a deadline, never missed a goal Twenty-eight to thirty is the danger zone Trapped ions dancing, superconducting flow Logical qubits is the way we'll know Who's gonna lead when the future unfolds Hardware players writing quantum gold [Verse 2] Quantinuum spun off from Honeywell High-fidelity gates they do so well Trapped ion tech with stories to tell Quality qubits ringing like a bell Each approach has got its own sweet way Trapped ions hold their quantum state all day Superconducting runs at zero K Different paths but heading to the same bay [Chorus] Hardware players, quantum makers Ion Q and IBM are never fakers Never missed a deadline, never missed a goal Twenty-eight to thirty is the danger zone Trapped ions dancing, superconducting flow Logical qubits is the way we'll know Who's gonna lead when the future unfolds Hardware players writing quantum gold [Bridge] Sixteen hundred logical by twenty-eight Six thousand more the following year they state IBM's got two hundred by twenty-nine Two thousand logical by thirty-three design Google's pushing error correction hard Quantinuum's fidelity's their calling card Different timelines but they're all on guard For the moment quantum gets too large [Chorus] Hardware players, quantum makers Ion Q and IBM are never fakers Never missed a deadline, never missed a goal Twenty-eight to thirty is the danger zone Trapped ions dancing, superconducting flow Logical qubits is the way we'll know Who's gonna lead when the future unfolds Hardware players writing quantum gold [Outro] When the quantum revolution comes to town These four players won't back down Hardware warriors wearing the crown Building tomorrow from the quantum ground
