The extended Bloch Representation of Entanglement and Measurement in Quantum Mechanics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The quantum formalism can be completed by assuming that density operators also represent genuine states. An ‘extended Bloch representation’ (EBR) then results, in which not only the states but also the measurement-interactions can be described. Consequently, the Born rule can be obtained as an expression that quantifies the lack of knowledge about the measurement-interaction that is each time actualized, during a measurement. Entanglement can ...
