摘要: Consider a spin s prepared in pure state. It is shown that, generically, the moduli of components along three directions space determine state unambiguously. These probabilities are accessible experimentally by means standard Stern-Gerlach apparatus. therefore possible to reconstruct generic on basis 6s independent measured intensities.
