24. Although the parameters a, b, c, and d are real in the general case, we can enlarge them into complex numbers without loss of generality.

29. After the POVM { A1, A2 }, the output states of the subsystem ÏB will be ÏBi = TrACD (Ai | Î (2) â â Î (2) | Ai†) / pi, for i=1,2, for which the relation ÏB = p1 ÏB1 + p2 ÏB2 holds. The cases for ÏC and ÏD are similar.
