Alice conditions on her observed computational-basis result. For outcome , occurring with probability , her post-measurement density matrix is ; for outcome , occurring with probability , it is . Explicitly,
These are the conditional Lüders rule updates for the two rank-one projectors. They assume the corresponding outcome has nonzero probability and Alice knows which one occurred.
