The projective measurement probabilities are . Both density operators have zero -component of their Bloch vector, soTheir full outcome distributions, not merely their mean values, coincide. Along , however,Thus repeated spin measurement along distinguishes the preparations statistically. A single negative outcome excludes A, while a single positive outcome is compatible with either; under B the probability of independent positive outcomes is .
