  • $\begingroup$ Wonderful, Thanks! This explains most of my question. Still not clear why for cases where $\phi - y_0/N \ne 0$, the coefficient would be 0? $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 22, 2024 at 3:25
  • $\begingroup$ Hint: Quantum states have a unit norm. If one of the coefficients is 1, what does it leave for the rest of coefficients? $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 22, 2024 at 3:35

  • $\begingroup$ @rhundt, I've added something extra if you are after a more rigorous argument. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 22, 2024 at 4:19
