Abstract
Here, we offer concrete illustrations of the state determination method developed abstractly in Part I of this work. Quorums are found for finite-dimensional magnetic multipole problems as well as for the harmonic oscillator with an energy cutoff. There is, in addition, a discussion of general procedures for empirically distinguishing pure states from mixed states.
