 Singular obstruction to normalized quantum matrix multiplication

If $|b⟩$ lies in the kernel of $A$, then $A|b⟩=0$ has no normalized quantum state. A request to produce that normalized vector with positive probability is consequently undefined. For example, $A=\mathrm{diag}(0,1/2)$ on one qubit has distinct dyadic eigenvalues, but annihilates $|0⟩$. The corrected filtering assertion requires $A|b⟩\ne 0$; it cannot be repaired by assigning a positive success probability to this input.
