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 …

Technical advantages for weak-value amplification: when less is more
The technical merits of weak-value-amplification techniques are analyzed. We consider
models of several different types of technical noise in an optical context and show that weak …

Phase estimation with weak measurement using a white light source
We report results of a high precision phase estimation based on a weak measurement
scheme using a commercial light-emitting diode. The method is based on a measurement of …

Metasurface-assisted quantum nonlocal weak-measurement microscopy
In standard quantum weak measurements, preselection and postselection of quantum states
are implemented in the same photon. Here we go beyond this restrictive setting and …

Experimental observation of the spin Hall effect of light on a nanometal film via weak measurements
We theorize the spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) on a nanometal film and demonstrate it
experimentally via weak measurements. A general propagation model to describe the …

Amplification of angular rotations using weak measurements
We present a weak measurement protocol that permits a sensitive estimation of angular
rotations based on the concept of weak-value amplification. The shift in the state of a pointer …

Quantum advantage in postselected metrology
In every parameter-estimation experiment, the final measurement or the postprocessing
incurs a cost. Postselection can improve the rate of Fisher information (the average …

Amplifying single-photon nonlinearity using weak measurements
We show that weak measurement can be used to “amplify” optical nonlinearities at the
single-photon level, such that the effect of one properly postselected photon on a classical …

Do we really understand quantum mechanics? Strange correlations, paradoxes, and theorems
F Laloë - American Journal of Physics, 2001 - pubs.aip.org
This article presents a general discussion of several aspects of our present understanding of
quantum mechanics. The emphasis is put on the very special correlations that this theory …
