Examples

“We would like now to show that the counterpart of the conditional probability ℘(jǀk) in quantum mechanics is indeed the probability of a final detection event, which, given a certain experimental context (a premeasurement), allows us to finally ascribe a property to the object system (the system that has been measured).”
