... that it encodes. But suppose we have a classical bit that really does have a definite value (either 0 or 1), but that value is initially unknown to us. Based on the information available to us we can only say that there is a probability p0 that the bit has the value 0, and a probability p1 that the ...

... Proof: Phases of k can be changed by acting on S alone. But the state of the whole can be restored by acting only on E. So change of phases of Schmidt coefficients could not have affected S! QED. By phase envariance, { k , sk } must provide a complete local description of the system alone. Sa ...
