And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: Now Shor! Now Grover! Now Pauli and Hadamard! On Bohr! On Feynman! On Einstein! On Einstein! I must say your name twice As perhaps, God does play dice. If you’re lucky, the game you may win And we can harness the particles’ spin We haven’t much time for these particles to remain in coherency To have any hope of quantum supremacy We have Bose-Einstein Condensate, But still mustn’t be late The hype cycle waits for none For, if we do not progress, deals will be undone With that he withdrew, his bells they jangled May your particles be entangled He shouted as he took flight Merry Xmon to all and to all a good night!
