Lüders operations
i. Overview
An effect `e` of an ordered JB-algebra has a positive square root. The Lüders operation of `e` is the quadratic representation `x ↦ U_{√e} x`, and conditioning a state on `e` is `x ↦ ω(U_{√e} x) / ω(e)`. For a projection this is conditioning on the projection.
ii. Key results
- `NormedJordanAlgebra.luedersMap` : the Lüders map of an effect.
- `NormedJordanAlgebra.luedersOperation` : the Lüders operation.
- `NormedJordanAlgebra.luedersCondition` : the state conditioned on an effect.
- `NormedJordanAlgebra.luedersCondition_isNormal` : conditioning preserves normality.

Positive square root of an effect
For an effect in an ordered Jordan-Banach algebra (where belongs to the order interval ), this function returns its unique positive square root as determined by the continuous functional calculus for JB-algebras.
Lüders map of an effect
For an effect (an element in the order interval ) in a normed Jordan algebra , the Lüders map is the positive linear map from to itself defined by the quadratic representation of the positive square root of , denoted by . In the case of a special Jordan algebra, this operation is given by .

Lüders operation of an effect
For an effect in a normed Jordan algebra (where ), the **Lüders operation** is the operation defined by the mapping , where is the quadratic representation of the positive square root of . This operation is a positive linear map such that the image of the identity element is the effect itself (), which satisfies the requirement . It represents the intrinsic Jordan algebra analogue of a single-Kraus measurement operation.

Let be a real normed Jordan algebra. Let be a normal state and be an effect (an element satisfying ) such that the probability of the outcome is strictly positive (). If the Lüders operation defined by is normal (meaning it preserves the suprema of directed sets), then the Lüders conditioned state , defined for any as is also a normal state.
Lüders conditioning on a projection equals conditioning on the projection as an effect
Let be a normed Jordan algebra, be a Jordan projection (satisfying ), and be a state on . If the probability of in state is positive (i.e., ), then the Lüders conditioned state of on (viewed as an effect) is equal to the state conditioned on the projection . Specifically, for any , the identity holds, where denotes the quadratic representation.
