We have found that the usual measuring procedure for preselected and postselected ensembles of quantum systems gives unusual results. Under some natural conditions of weakness of the measurement, its result consistently defines a new kind of value for a quantum variable, which we call the weak value. A description of the measurement of the weak value of a component of a spin for an ensemble of preselected and postselected spin-(1/2 particles is presented.

Protective measurements: extracting the expectation value by measuring a single particle
In quantum mechanics, the eigenvalues and their corresponding probabilities specify the expectation value of a physical observable, which is known to be a statistical property related to large…
Interpretation of the curious results of the new quantum formalism of pre- and post-selected systems
The analysis, with the use of two state vectors, of a quantum system, during the time interval between two measurements, leads to some amazing results, which seem to contradict our usual “quantum…
Quantum averages of weak values
We re-examine the status of the weak value of a quantum mechanical observable as an objective physical concept, addressing its physical interpretation and general domain of applicability. We show…
Uncertainties in successive measurements
When you measure an observable, A, in Quantum Mechanics, the state of the system changes. This, in turn, affects the quantum-mechanical uncertainty in some non-commuting observable, B. The standard…
Effect of relativity and vacuum fluctuations on quantum measurement
Vacuum fluctuations can obscure the detection signal of the measurement of the smallest quantum objects like single particles seemingly implying a fundamental limit to measurement accuracy. How-ever,…
Quantum tunneling time
A simple model of a quantum clock is applied to the old and controversial problem of how long a particle takes to tunnel through a quantum barrier. The model has the advantage of yielding sensible…
Complete description of a quantum system at a given time
A generalization of the description of a quantum system in the time interval between two measurements is presented. A new concept of a generalized state is introduced. Generalized states yield a…
Measurement of 〈σz〉 ≈ 100 for a spin-12 particle or “polarization amplification” of 〈σ〉 ≈ 1?
The Weak Measurement in Quantum Mechanics
The topic of this seminar is the weak measurement and its corresponding weak value. The normal and double Stern-Gerlach experiment is explained, the latter being used as an example of how to conduct…
Anomalous weak values via a single photon detection
TLDR
This work presents the first experiment measuring anomalous weak values with just a single click, without the need for statistical averaging, showing unprecedented measurement capability for further applications of weak values to quantum photonics.
