3. Let's generalize the preceding setup a little. Suppose Bob is given a state from m linearly
independent states |1),..., |bm). Can you construct a POVM {E1,.., Em+1} so that if
outcome E; occurs with 1<i<m then Bob knows for sure that the state is vi)?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Denote by |ϕi the vector orthogonal to the subspace spanned by {|ψj}ji and define

                                                                Ei=ij|ϕjϕj|

Then ψj |Ei|ψj=0 by construction, and ψi|Ei|ψi>0 The last operator is defined to satisfy completeness:
                                                     Em+1=𝕀j=1mEj
