The specified readout has channel

It is completely positive and trace preserving. Its -th subnormalized matter block is

For , the conditional matter state is . No normalized state is assigned to a zero-probability outcome. Every identity holds after tensoring with .

Proof. After applying , the destructive measurement bra for outcome is

The Kraus operator including the classical output is

Consequently the channel is (eq:instrument), and

This proves complete positivity and trace preservation. The partial-trace expression follows by expanding in the clock basis. The block probabilities and conditional states are the specified Born semantics. Tensoring each operator identity with proves the reference versions.
