Abstract
In 1987 Vaidman, Aharonov, and Albert (VAA) showed “How to ascertain the values of σx, σy, and σz of a spin particle” [1]. Their proposal later on became known as “spin measurement retrodiction”, i.e. determining the result of a spin measurement without knowing its basis (x, y, or z). As can easily be seen, this is not possible for a single particle (see fig. 1a). Yet, utilizing entanglement, there is a solution to this problem.
