Weak value beyond conditional expectation value of the pointer readings

L Vaidman, A Ben-Israel, J Dziewior, L Knips, M Weißl… - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
It is argued that a weak value of an observable is a robust property of a single pre-and
postselected quantum system rather than a statistical property. During an infinitesimal time a …
