Paid as you go

Two friends, Alice and Bob, loved to converse,
they liked to exchange their secrets and their views,
but when they tried to swap a quantum verse,
price was too high: they couldn't pay their dues.

So they had to resort to a clever trick:
investing in good hardware and their wits,
each of the two got a quantum sidekick
to assist in the transmission of the bits.

From then onwards, messaging was a breeze,
and - how surprising - actually so cheap,
that they got credit back with each new bill,

The more they talked, the more they gained, at will,
resources (like entanglement) to keep.
... This must be what convinced the Referees!

    It's a catastrophe!

    Anderson perturbed his Fermi Sea, To his surprise, he found orthogonality,       He proclaimed: "A catastrophe indeed",       But now we must concede, That it's just due to energy-time uncertainty!

    A (no-)distillation poem

    This is a distillation poem In two parts: purely, the first one States the ground of the problem, The other shows it can be outdone. Part two is bound to half the lines But strictly words from the first piece. A no-go theorem undermines The rates of coherence to increase. Coherence is strictly bound But, from purely states, Distillation can ground The increase of rates.

Lett. 122, 150402 – Published 19 April 2019 URL:    https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.150402 Poem by:   gerardo.adesso@gmail.com #PoetRL ID:   ¶11
