Measurements

A measurement can be defined as a function

\[\mu : \Sigma \rightarrow \text{Pos}(\mathcal{X})\]

satisfying

\[\sum_{a \in \Sigma} \mu(a) = \mathbb{I}_{\mathcal{X}}\]

where \(\Sigma\) represents a set of measurement outcomes and where \(\mu(a)\) represents the measurement operator associated with outcome \(a \in \Sigma\).

Operations on Measurements
