SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the probability of measuring specific states in an entangled quantum system, specifically the states |A> and |B> defined as |A>=(|0_{A}>+|1_{A}>)/√2 and |B>=(|0_B{}>+|1_B{}>)/√2. It is established that the probability of finding the combined state |AB> in either |0a>|0b> or |1a>|1b> is 1/2, as derived from the Born rule and the trace formula. The rephrased state |U> = (|0a>|0b> + |1a>|1b>)/√2 confirms this probability outcome.
