The clock channel is

The subsequent code-selected table readout is

These maps are completely positive and trace preserving on all input operators, including every untouched reference extension.

For and ,

The measured clock names are consumed; they are not quantum outputs of either instrument.

Proof. For (eq:clock), use Kraus operators . Their squared moduli sum to . Expansion in the clock basis gives the partial-trace identity.

For (eq:instrument), use the recorded Kraus operators

Since , their squared moduli also sum to . Tensoring these operator identities with any reference identity proves the complete assertions. The conditional score follows from (eq:score). The specified implementation consumes , and its output type contains , not a quantum .
