Abstract
Uhlmann's transition probability P(ψ, φ) of two normal states of a von Neumann algebra M, which is the supremum of |(Ψ, Φ)|2 for all possible choices of representative vectors Ψ and Φ of ψ and φ, is shown to be the infimum of (∫d(µψ, e)1/2)2 for the induced measures µω, e(B)=ω(e(B)) (B: Borel set in ℝ, ω=ψ, φ) for all possible projection-valued measures e belonging to M.
