... So, to get from non-orthogonal a and b to orthogonal "A" and "B", we need a non-unitary operation. Quantum measurement leads to such non-unitary operations – put another way, we have to accept throwing out some events. By throwing out the "Don't Know" terms, we may keep only the orthogonal parts. ...
