[Verse 1] There's a storm coming fast, quantum clouds in the sky Shor's algorithm breaking RSA, making old crypto die While Grover cuts your keys in half, searching twice as fast What we encrypt today, they'll harvest now and crack at last [Chorus] Fourteen hundred qubits for the breaking point Six thousand more and every lock's destroyed Fifty logical qubits, that's the magic number Physical to logical, wake up from your slumber [Verse 2] Ion trapped particles dancing in magnetic fields IBM's roadmap racing to a million qubit yield Physical qubits fail and shake, need hundreds for just one Logical qubit standing strong when error correction's done [Chorus] Fourteen hundred qubits for the breaking point Six thousand more and every lock's destroyed Fifty logical qubits, that's the magic number Physical to logical, wake up from your slumber [Verse 3] RSA relies on factoring, products way too hard But Shor can find those primes so fast, leaves security scarred Bitcoin's curve cryptography, discrete logs keep it safe Till quantum solves the puzzle fast, puts money in wrong place [Bridge] AES two-fifty-six becomes one-twenty-eight When Grover cuts your keyspace down, don't hesitate Lattice-based mathematics, hash trees standing tall NIST has found the answers in two-oh-three through all [Verse 4] FIPS two-oh-four and five, post-quantum standards here Lattice problems hard to solve, even quantum can't come near Hash-based signatures climbing trees of cryptographic gold The new defenses rising up, protecting young and old [Chorus] Fourteen hundred qubits for the breaking point Six thousand more and every lock's destroyed But lattice crypto saves the day, hash trees light the way Physical to logical, we're ready for that day [Outro] Foundation set, the threat is clear, hardware racing fast Crypto broken, defenses built, quantum future's vast
