N-box pre- and post-selection paradox

ID: n-box-pre-and-post-selection-paradox

For a uniform prestate in dimensions and poststate proportional to , each binary question versus has conditional probability one for . A fully resolved quantum measurement instead assigns to each of the first outcomes and to the last. The context dependence of pre- and post-selected measurements explains why these alternative certainties do not imply simultaneous properties.
