[Verse 1] Twenty twenty-four, the standards came alive NIST released the codes to help us all survive Post-quantum cryptography, the shield we need today Before the quantum computers take our secrets all away [Chorus] There's a five-year gap, a danger zone ahead Twenty-eight to thirty, fill your heart with dread Ion Q's rising, logical qubits grow While NIST says thirty-five, but quantum's moving fast, you know Migration timeline, better make your plans Before the crypto-pocalypse gets out of hand [Verse 2] Twenty twenty-five, agencies must comply Submit their migration plans or watch security die Twenty twenty-six brings HQC on the scene Code-based protection in the quantum machine [Chorus] There's a five-year gap, a danger zone ahead Twenty-eight to thirty, fill your heart with dread Ion Q's rising, logical qubits grow While NIST says thirty-five, but quantum's moving fast, you know Migration timeline, better make your plans Before the crypto-pocalypse gets out of hand [Bridge] Twenty twenty-seven, ten thousand physical might Eight hundred logical qubits shining bright Twenty twenty-eight, sixteen hundred's the key Danger zone beginning, can't you see? Twenty twenty-nine, six thousand strong Thirty-thirty window, it won't be long Thirty-three from IBM, two thousand more Thirty-five NIST deadline, what you waiting for? [Chorus] There's a five-year gap, a danger zone ahead Twenty-eight to thirty, fill your heart with dread Ion Q's rising, logical qubits grow While NIST says thirty-five, but quantum's moving fast, you know Migration timeline, better make your plans Before the crypto-pocalypse gets out of hand [Outro] Don't wait for thirty-five, the writing's on the wall Start your migration now, before the quantum call The timeline's crystal clear, the gap is plain to see Prepare your crypto now, for quantum reality
