Measuring the coset state ∣g0​+K⟩ in the group shift operator eigenbasis samples uniformly from the annihilator of a subgroup of a finite abelian group K⊥. Indeed,
⟨vχ​∣g0​+K⟩=∣G∣∣K∣​χ(g0​)​∑k∈K​χ(k),
(1)
so the character-sum cancellation lemma gives probability ∣K∣/∣G∣ on K⊥ and zero elsewhere. The modulus of χ(g0​) is one, so the offset has no effect on the distribution.
