according to born's rule, |<a/b>|2=probability
so in the case of (1/2 + i/2) |a> = |b>,
the probability of finding |a> in system prepared in |b> = |<a/b>|2
so i should modulus the (1/2 + i/2) first and then square it right?
so i get 1/2 + 1/2 = 1, squaring gives 1 again, but my lecturer gives the answer as 1/2...
did i do anything wrong here? thanks a lot
