Colloquium: Understanding quantum weak values: Basics and applications
Since its introduction 25 years ago, the quantum weak value has gradually transitioned from
a theoretical curiosity to a practical laboratory tool. While its utility is apparent in the recent …

Nonperturbative theory of weak pre-and post-selected measurements
This paper starts with a brief review of the topic of strong and weak pre-and post-selected
(PPS) quantum measurements, as well as weak values, and afterwards presents original …

Ultrasensitive beam deflection measurement via interferometric weak value amplification
We report on the use of an interferometric weak value technique to amplify very small
transverse deflections of an optical beam. By entangling the beam's transverse degrees of …

Measuring small longitudinal phase shifts: weak measurements or standard interferometry?
Recently, weak measurements were used to measure small effects that are transverse to the
propagation direction of a light beam. Here we address the question of whether weak …
