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 …

Technical advantages for weak-value amplification: when less is more

AN Jordan, J Martínez-Rincón, JC Howell - Physical Review X, 2014 - APS
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

XY Xu, Y Kedem, K Sun, L Vaidman, CF Li, GC Guo - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
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

J Liu, Q Yang, Y Shou, S Chen, W Shu, G Chen… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
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

X Zhou, Z **ao, H Luo, S Wen - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2012 - APS
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

OS Magaña-Loaiza, M Mirhosseini, B Rodenburg… - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
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

DRM Arvidsson-Shukur, N Yunger Halpern… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
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

A Feizpour, X **ng, AM Steinberg - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
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 …
