13. B(α) of Bob that depends on the classical parameter α corresponding to the state |α〉 transmitted by Alice. However, the description of the Alice-Bob system as an entangled pair of states has definite methodological benefit as it allows one to equally describe all the participants of the information exchange in the system Alice-Eve-Bob as peering parties.
