Let denote the two outcomes and the outcome. Measuring in the GHZ state projects onto the same eigenstate, while the later outcome is unbiased. Hence the possible triples, in the order , areeach with probability .
Choose . Immediately before , each local readout is . The collapse at is immediately in 's past light cone, reaches at , and reaches at . ThusHere . The collapse at reaches at and at , but the state is already a product after the first collapse, so it does not change their local states. Likewise, the collapse at reaches and at without changing their states. For another allowed outcome, replace by according to and replace by according to .
