Quantum probability rule: a generalization of the theorems of Gleason and Busch

Buschʼs theorem deriving the standard quantum probability rule can be regarded as a more general form of Gleasonʼs theorem. Here we show that a further generalization is possible by reducing the number of quantum postulates used by Busch. We do not assume that the positive measurement outcome operat...
