Extension Island

Alice and Bob: 't was love at a first glance.
He thought she really was his one soulmate,
But to be sure, one day, he set to rate
How faithful she was in their romance.

Alice was then invited to a weird place,
A kind of mirror maze, in which she found
Lots of lads, looking just like Bob all-round,
And each of them eager for her embrace.

A monogamy test was thus declared:
The more clones Alice got entangled with,
The less for her authentic Bob she cared.

You may think this is nothing but a myth,
But quantum social rules are so finespun:
True love cannot be shared with more than one.

    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.
