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 .
