751+ measurement that does not include the identity matrix is equivalent up to a
752+ unitary to $\bm{Z}\otimes\bm{Z}$ . The eigenvalues $\bm{Z}\otimes\bm{Z}$ of only depend on
747753the parity of the qubits that comprise each computational basis
748754vector, and the controlled-not operations serve to compute this parity
749755and store it in the first bit. Then once the first bit is measured,
750756you can recover the identity of the resultant half-space, which is
751757equivalent to measuring the Pauli operator.

753- Also, while it can be tempting to assume that measuring is the same as
754- sequentially measuring π and then π , this assumption would be
755- false. The reason is that measuring projects the quantum state into
756- either the or eigenstate of these operators. Measuring π and then π
757- projects the quantum state vector first onto a half space of π and
758- then onto a half space of π . As there are four computational basis

762+ Also, while it can be tempting to assume that measuring $\bm{Z}\otimes\bm{Z}$ is the same as
763+ sequentially measuring $\bm{Z}\otimes\bm{I}$ and then $\bm{I}\otimes\bm{Z}$, this assumption would be
764+ false. The reason is that measuring $\bm{Z}\otimes\bm{Z}$ projects the quantum state into
765+ either the $+1$ or $-1$ eigenstate of these operators. Measuring $\bm{Z}\otimes\bm{I}$ and then
766+ $\bm{I}\otimes\bm{Z}$
767+ projects the quantum state vector first onto a half space of $\bm{Z}\otimes\bm{I}$ and
768+ then onto a half space of $\bm{I}\otimes\bm{Z}$. As there are four computational basis
759769vectors, performing both measurements reduces the state to a
760770quarter-space and hence reduces it to a single computational basis
761771vector.
