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.

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.

Stochastic liberation

An electron once was resigned To follow orbits small and confined But chaos stochastic Made her motion fantastic Through crystals correctly designed About this #PoetRL Paper Title: Effects of Stochastic Webs on Chaotic Electron Transport in Semiconductor Superlattices Authors: T.

The Office Aide

This is a story which may sound familiar: A man, called Bob, had lots of work to do. However, his condition was peculiar, His brains were tied, and his energy too. One day, a keen co-worker joined the office, Resourceful, with energy to spare, But with no tasks to do. Her name was Alice. She noticed Bob was swamped in despair. Then she proposed a deal: She’d do the thinking And give him clear instructions. Bob, in turn, Could sort stuff at his desk with zero sweating. They would share any revenue in return. And it worked out! They did a stellar job. It was such a dream team: Alice & Bob.
