= Relative state of a bipartite vector

= Relative state
{synonym}
For a bipartite vector $|v\rangle\in\mathcal H_R\otimes\mathcal H_A$ and a chosen <orthonormal basis> of $R$, the generally unnormalized <relative state> on $A$ is obtained by the partial <inner product> with one basis vector. It gives the expansion $|v\rangle=\sum_j|j\rangle\otimes|\eta_j\rangle$. The squared <norm> of a <relative state> is the <probability> of its corresponding basis outcome when $|v\rangle$ is normalized. <Relative states> of <eigenvectors> of a <Choi matrix> construct the columns of its <Kraus operators>.
