Choose the four unit Bloch vectors at the vertices of a regular tetrahedron, so ∑i​ni​=0 and ∑i​ni​niT​=4I/3. The displayed four positive rank-one effects sum to I. On input (I+r⋅σ)/2, their probabilities are pi​=(1+r⋅ni​)/4, giving the reconstruction r=3∑i​pi​ni​. This realizes the smallest fixed qubit informationally complete POVM.
