The quantum computer is coming
They're just trying to make
those little qubit things
immune to interference
from the big world

Because when the big world leaks in
the qubits stop working
and the solutions
are all wrong

Once they work out an answer
to this problem
they'll be able to calculate
bigger numbers
than we ever imagined

The big world
Is like the real world
The one that you and I can see
It's just a problem
That it keeps leaking in
to the little one

It makes that little qubit
sound a bit like
a nice dream
that you're fighting to stay inside
on the verge of waking up

and when you do wake up
you may be sad
because you can't fly
you don't have 600 million dollars
and the cat you tried putting in a box
with some radioactive material
is still dead

But recently, they discovered something else
Those little qubit things
Don't need to be completely isolated
from the big world
Because they can correct for the errors later

But even then,
there's a problem

The quantum computer
can calculate
so much information
that there is no computer
big enough
to test if the answer
Is correct

So as you can see
it's nice to dream
but there's really no point
in building a quantum computer
