Apply the modulo operation to the eigenvalues of . The product eigenstates have ordinary eigenvalues , respectively, and residues modulo . The resulting observable isUse the entanglement-assisted nondemolition parity measurement from part (a). Equal local meter records give ; unequal records give . Its conditional quantum measurement maps are and , with normalization by their probabilities. The quantum nondemolition measurement preserves every vector within each degenerate eigenspace, including superpositions of and . Measuring the two system spins separately would destroy that even-sector coherence and would therefore not realize the same Lüders rule instrument. The nonlocal eigenvalue again becomes known only after local operations and classical communication compares the local records.
