Colloquium: Understanding quantum weak values: Basics and applications

J Dressel, M Malik, FM Miatto, AN Jordan… - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2014 - APS
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

AG Kofman, S Ashhab, F Nori - Physics Reports, 2012 - Elsevier
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

PB Dixon, DJ Starling, AN Jordan, JC Howell - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
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?

N Brunner, C Simon - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
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 …

Universality of entanglement transitions from stroboscopic to continuous measurements

M Szyniszewski, A Romito, H Schomerus - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
Measurement-driven transitions between extensive and subextensive scaling of the
entanglement entropy receive interest as they illuminate the intricate physics of …

Rapid single-shot measurement of a singlet-triplet qubit

C Barthel, DJ Reilly, CM Marcus, MP Hanson… - Physical Review Letters, 2009 - APS
We report repeated single-shot measurements of the two-electron spin state in a GaAs
double quantum dot. The readout allows measurement with a fidelity above 90% with a∼ 7 …

Optimizing the signal-to-noise ratio of a beam-deflection measurement with interferometric weak values

DJ Starling, PB Dixon, AN Jordan, JC Howell - Physical Review A—Atomic …, 2009 - APS
The amplification obtained using weak values is quantified through a detailed investigation
of the signal-to-noise ratio for an optical beam-deflection measurement. We show that for a …

Significance of the imaginary part of the weak value

J Dressel, AN Jordan - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2012 - APS
Unlike the real part of the generalized weak value of an observable, which can in a restricted
sense be operationally interpreted as an idealized conditioned average of that observable in …

Evolution of many-body systems under ancilla quantum measurements

EVH Doggen, Y Gefen, IV Gornyi, AD Mirlin… - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Measurement-induced phase transitions are the subject of intense current research, both
from an experimental and a theoretical perspective. We explore the concept of implementing …

Entanglement-assisted weak value amplification

S Pang, J Dressel, TA Brun - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
Large weak values have been used to amplify the sensitivity of a linear response signal for
detecting changes in a small parameter, which has also enabled a simple method for …
