For an orthonormal basis, choosing coefficients with magnitudes $\sqrt{p_j}$ gives the required Born rule probabilities. More generally, ${\sum }_j\sqrt{p_j}{e}^{i{\theta }_j}|{\varphi }_j⟩$ realizes the same distribution for arbitrary phases. The following are convenient examples of pure-state realization of a basis measurement distribution.
