Abstract

This paper gives new foundations of quantum state reduction without appealing to the projection postulate for the probe measurement. For this purpose, the quantum Bayes principle is formulated as the most fundamental principle for determining the state of a quantum system, and the joint probability distribution for the outcomes of local successive measurements on a noninteracting entangled system is derived without assuming the projection postulate.
