Single malt super spirit

We are a bunch of teeny quantum flecks.
We all are in a state - no, not a rage,
I mean, we've got weird features, and you gauge
each of these on a scale of 1 to X.

One such feature is bliss: It gives us clearance
to be both heads and tails, both up and down,
to walk concurrently all streets in town,
and fuel computers. We call this coherence.

But some of us are not that well endowed,
so here we ask: How well can you pick out
the most coherent critters from the crowd?

You will need a distillery! No doubt,
it should be fit for purpose, even though
sometimes it fails, and you need one more go.

    Every little quantum helps

    Today we’re gonna play a guessing quiz. First, pick a little marble from your drawer. Then push it into a mystery box, whose core is like a maze of many paths. Now, whizz, Look at the ball when it comes out and guess: Which way, inside the box, did it go through? Was it path number one, or three, or two? Let’s try and assess your chances of success. If your marble’s a cheap, generic brand, the various paths won’t have that much effect. But, if you choose a rather high-spec ball, With every different turn, during its roll, a distinct shine the sphere’s going to reflect. Just spot the change and win! Do you understand? Let me briefly expand and give you the tagline (pardon the garble): Every quantum resource is a good marble. About this #PoetRL Paper Title:   Operational Advantage of Quantum Resources in Subchannel Discrimination Authors:   Ryuji Takagi, Bartosz Regula, Kaifeng Bu, Zi-Wen Liu, and Gerardo Adesso Reference:   Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 1404
