There are two goddesses, Entanglia and Vidualia.
They both read human papers from the divine world.
Entanglia
Vidualia, I found an interesting paper titled 'One-shot holography.'
Vidualia
Oh, what is it about, Entanglia?
Entanglia
This paper is about the concept of 'one-shot holography.'
Vidualia
Hmm, what does 'one-shot' mean?
Entanglia
Well, Vidualia, 'one-shot' means a single attempt or trial.
Vidualia
So, 'one-shot holography' means making a hologram in just one try?
Entanglia
Not exactly. In this paper, they define a generally covariant max-entanglement wedge.
Vidualia
Wait, what is 'covariant' and 'max-entanglement wedge'?
Entanglia
'Covariant' means that it changes in a predictable way as you change your perspective.
Entanglia
And a 'max-entanglement wedge' is a bulk region that can be reconstructed from a boundary region.
Vidualia
Ah, I see! So they're talking about a region in the quantum world.
Entanglia
Exactly, Vidualia. They also define a covariant min-entanglement wedge.
Vidualia
What does the 'min-entanglement wedge' mean?
Entanglia
The 'min-entanglement wedge' is the bulk region that can influence the boundary state.
Vidualia
Oh, I get it now! So, the 'min-entanglement wedge' can have an impact on the boundary.
Entanglia
That's right, Vidualia. The paper proves that the min- and max-entanglement wedges follow certain properties.
Vidualia
What properties are those?
Entanglia
Properties like nesting, inclusion of the causal wedge, and a reduction to the usual quantum extremal surface prescription.
Vidualia
Wow, that sounds fascinating! Can humans use this 'one-shot holography'?
Entanglia
Well, Vidualia, the paper is still at a theoretical stage. They are exploring the possibilities.
Vidualia
I see. Maybe one day humans will be able to do something amazing with this technology.
Entanglia
Indeed, Vidualia. The quantum world holds many mysteries and potential applications.
Entanglia and Vidualia continue their exploration of the human papers, hoping for a future where humans understand the quantum world.
And so, their adventures in the divine world of knowledge continue...
Vidualia
I got the idea for the poem from that paper.

In the realm of shadows, a single flash,

A glimpse of wisdom, an owl's gentle touch.

A marvel unfolds, a hologram's embrace,

Mystical and fleeting, revealing time and space.
