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 …

Massive quantum systems as interfaces of quantum mechanics and gravity

S Bose, I Fuentes, AA Geraci, SM Khan… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
The traditional view from particle physics is that quantum gravity effects should only become
detectable at extremely high energies and small length scales. Due to the significant …

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 …

Weak value amplification is suboptimal for estimation and detection

C Ferrie, J Combes - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We show by using statistically rigorous arguments that the technique of weak value
amplification does not perform better than standard statistical techniques for the tasks of …

Precision metrology using weak measurements

L Zhang, A Datta, IA Walmsley - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
Weak values and measurements have been proposed as a means to achieve dramatic
enhancements in metrology based on the greatly increased range of possible measurement …

Weak value amplification can outperform conventional measurement in the presence of detector saturation

J Harris, RW Boyd, JS Lundeen - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
Weak value amplification (WVA) is a technique by which one can magnify the apparent
strength of a measurement signal. Some have claimed that WVA can outperform more …

When amplification with weak values fails to suppress technical noise

GC Knee, EM Gauger - Physical Review X, 2014 - APS
The application of postselection to a weak quantum measurement leads to the phenomenon
of weak values. Expressed in units of the measurement strength, the displacement of a …

How the result of a single coin toss can turn out to be 100 heads

C Ferrie, J Combes - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We show that the phenomenon of anomalous weak values is not limited to quantum theory.
In particular, we show that the same features occur in a simple model of a coin subject to a …

Measuring ultrasmall time delays of light by joint weak measurements

G Strübi, C Bruder - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
We propose to use weak measurements away from the weak-value amplification regime to
carry out precision measurements of time delays of light. Our scheme is robust to several …

Improving the precision of weak measurements by postselection measurement

S Pang, TA Brun - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
Postselected weak measurement is a useful protocol for amplifying weak physical effects.
However, there has recently been controversy over whether it gives any advantage in …
