A complete constructive classification is given for all discrete ensembles of pure quantum states having a given density matrix. As a special case this provides a classification of positive operator valued measures with finitely many components. We also show that any chosen ensemble consistent with a fixed density matrix ϱ can be created at space-like separation using an entangled state depending only on ϱ.
