let it be declared at the outset
QC ain't much of a new physical concept
a fancy idea floated by physicists
grabbed by engineers and turned to shit
at its core lies the simple premise
if information may in classical bits comprise
single of the two to the power n states at a time
why not go quantum and be all of them - a new computational paradigm.
the classical computational philosophy
be rather simple and working well so far as we see
go through the states one by one
till you arrive at the solution
the quantum bit though gets quite tricky
coz you have all the states at the same time, you see
now work you must well on your algorithm
how will you extract the desired rhythm
qubit be the bit equivalent
it be manipulated to make use of wave interference
but the darn thing needs to be kept in place
in order to avoid its decoherence
quite a few ways out there to achieve
but none too good on energy
from sticking an atom in a crystal
to current loops in a superconductor
so, now you got the system set right
and some algorithms to read things bright
what do you do with it, is a common ask
and sadly there ain't much as for the number of tasks
factorization with utmost efficiency and force
simulate the quantum world, of course
unstructured searches in a database get fast
and possibly aid in machine learning, if we get that smart.
much ado for very little this be
suited for just a few complexities
can't see much of humanity it affect
fun play thing of hoity engineers for respect.
