Fig. 1: A visual representation of the two qubit states Eq. (2) in the xz Bloch plane contributing to the reduced density matrix of a single qubit following rotation from the initial state \(\left\vert +\right\rangle\) according to \({\hat{R}}_{Y}(\theta )\), Eq. (3).
From: Solving k–SAT problems with generalized quantum measurement

The true and false states are initialized in parallel along \(\left\vert +\right\rangle\) for θ = 0, and are then gradually rotated so as to become orthogonal for θ = π/2.
