The continued popularity of Red Delicious despite objectively better alternatives is the best metaphor for the state of our democracy I've seen in a while. (source: sherwood.news)

I still often reflect back on this information diagrams to help boost my intuition about the local information content of entangled systems: Cerfa, Nicolas J., and Chris Adamib. "Quantum information theory of entanglement and measurement." arXiv preprint quant-ph/9605039 (1997).

I've never seen so much effort put into making a 'quantum money' figure! From Adrian Kent's portion of "ISOLATION – solitude, secrets, atoms . . ."

Unfortunately, they changed the title (see version 2 on the arXiv for this one), but before the change, it had one of the most stunning titles I've ever seen for a physics paper:
