(*) Specification of the state from experimental information (5 pts)

  Note that by using the same procedure as in the previous problem, you may also derive the following superpositions. ( You need not derive these on the exam, you may take them as given.)

Now, you are given a new state . Repeated measurements yield that and , but and . Use this information to show 1) that and must have the form

and 2) that



Hints: 1) Write as a superposition of and . 2) Use the fact that .
