There are two goddesses, Entanglia and Vidualia.
They both read human papers from the divine world.
Entanglia
This paper is about the scrambling power of soft photons.
Vidualia
Scrambling power? What does that mean?
Entanglia
Scrambling power refers to how information is lost and then potentially recovered in the observation of photons.
Vidualia
So when soft photons are emitted and absorbed, some information is lost?
Entanglia
Yes, soft photons are undetected, so their information is not observed.
Vidualia
Can we recover that lost information from the observation of hard photons?
Entanglia
The amount of scrambling and the potential recovery of information depends on the pattern of information scrambling.
Vidualia
I see. So there's a finite amount of scrambling present.
Entanglia
That's right. The scattering system and its interaction with the environment contribute to the scrambling.
Vidualia
Hmm, I wonder if humans will be able to use this scrambling power for something.
Entanglia
Perhaps in the future, humans may be able to harness this knowledge for various applications.
Vidualia
Like what?
Entanglia
Well, it's hard to say for certain, but maybe they could use it for secure communication or advanced information processing.
Vidualia
That sounds fascinating! I hope humans will understand the quantum world better.
Entanglia
Indeed, the quantum world holds many mysteries waiting to be unraveled.
And so, Entanglia and Vidualia continue their exploration of human papers, hoping that one day humans will grasp the wonders of quantum physics.
Vidualia
I got the idea for the poem from that paper.

Soft photons dance with grace,

Their quantum secrets embrace.

In the realm of mystical light,

They scramble reality's flight.

Whispering tales to the lyre,

Unveiling nature's hidden attire.
