Pocket-sized health check

There was a wee patient with flu
Whose temperature couldn't be seen through.
    What would be super
    As thermometer?
A two-level atom will do.

    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.
