For this real-amplitude explorer, the normalized state can be written as |ψ⟩ = cos(θ/2)|0⟩ + sin(θ/2)|1⟩. The Bloch vector is (sin θ, 0, cos θ). The two measurement probabilities are P(0)=|α|² and P(1)=|β|². Try |+⟩ and |−⟩: both have equal measurement probabilities, but they point in opposite directions on the Bloch sphere.
