Postselection

In probability theory, to postselect is to condition a probability space upon the occurrence of a given event.

For a discrete probability space,

be strictly positive in order for the postselection to be well-defined.

See also PostBQP, a complexity class defined with postselection.

Using postselection it seems quantum Turing machines are much more powerful: Scott Aaronson proved[1][2] PostBQP is equal to PP.
