[Verse 1] In silicon valleys where qubits awaken Superposition trembles through gates While RSA fortress walls are forsaken Shor's algorithm seals cryptographic fates Classical keys that took eons to fracture Now crumble in polynomial time Quantum supremacy rewrites the architecture Of secrets we thought were sublime [Chorus] Grover cuts search space in half every round Factorization breaks what we've built Entanglement weaves where our defenses are found Quantum advantage without any guilt Remember the threat that's emerging so clear Post-quantum migration draws near [Verse 2] Elliptic curves bend under quantum pressure Prime numbers surrender their shield Discrete logarithms lose their protective measure When Hadamard transforms take the field Each qubit holds states in magnificent tension Zero and one in coherent embrace Parallel paths through computational dimension Collapse classical security's base [Chorus] Grover cuts search space in half every round Factorization breaks what we've built Entanglement weaves where our defenses are found Quantum advantage without any guilt Remember the threat that's emerging so clear Post-quantum migration draws near [Bridge] Symmetric ciphers still hold some ground AES-256 might survive But double key lengths to stay quantum-sound Keep legacy systems alive Hash functions resist but need longer output Error correction makes attacks more real The timeline uncertain but momentum won't stop Cryptographic fate quantum computers will seal [Verse 3] Decoherence battles with quantum coherence NISQ devices probe weakness today Though fault tolerance waits in the distance The threat grows stronger each computational day Digital signatures fall to forgery Public key infrastructure fades New lattice mathematics writes tomorrow's story While quantum supremacy's foundation cascades [Chorus] Grover cuts search space in half every round Factorization breaks what we've built Entanglement weaves where our defenses are found Quantum advantage without any guilt Remember the threat that's emerging so clear Post-quantum migration draws near [Outro] The quantum winter is ending its reign Cryptographic spring brings new pain
