Positive-Operator Valued Measure (POVM) Quantization

We present a general formalism for giving a measure space paired with a separable Hilbert space a quantum 3 Piece Table Set version based on a normalized positive operator-valued measure.The latter are built from families of density operators labeled by points of the measure space.We especially focus on various probabilistic aspects of these constr
