description

In this chapter, the probability law of the non-null eigenstates of a generic density operator—studied in the previous chapter—is determined, by showing that given the composite system and the subsystem being considered, a mapping arises which associates a universal probability distribution to the non-null eigenstates of the generic density operator. We thus recover the Born statistical interpretation without having assumed it as a postulate.
