Now Grover! Now Pauli and Hadamard!On Bohr! On Feynman! On Einstein! On Einstein! I must say your name twiceAs perhaps, God does play dice.If you’re lucky, the game you may winAnd we can harness the particles’ spinWe haven’t much time for these particles to remain in coherency To have any hope of quantum supremacyWe have Bose-Einstein Condensate, But still mustn’t be lateThe hype cycle waits for noneFor, if we do not progress, deals will be undoneWith that he withdrew, his bells they jangledMay your particles be entangled He shouted as he took flightMerry Xmon to all and to all a good night!
