Information amplification via postselection: A parameter-estimation perspective

S Tanaka, N Yamamoto - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2013 - APS
It is known that weak measurement can significantly amplify the mean of measurement
results, sometimes out of the range limited in usual quantum measurement. This fact, as …

Quantum sensors based on weak-value amplification cannot overcome decoherence

GC Knee, GAD Briggs, SC Benjamin, EM Gauger - Physical Review A—Atomic …, 2013 - APS
Sensors that harness exclusively quantum phenomena (such as entanglement) can achieve
superior performance compared to those employing only classical principles. Recently, a …

Post-selected von Neumann measurement with Hermite–Gaussian and Laguerre–Gaussian pointer states

Y Turek, H Kobayashi, T Akutsu, CP Sun… - New Journal of …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Through the von Neumann interaction followed by post-selection, we can extract not only the
eigenvalue of an observable of the measured system but also the weak value. In this post …

Revealing geometric phases in modular and weak values with a quantum eraser

M Cormann, M Remy, B Kolaric, Y Caudano - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
We present a procedure to completely determine the complex modular values of arbitrary
observables of pre-and postselected ensembles, which works experimentally for all …

Advantages of nonclassical pointer states in postselected weak measurements

Y Turek, W Maimaiti, Y Shikano, CP Sun, M Al-Amri - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
We investigate, within the weak measurement theory, the advantages of nonclassical pointer
states over semiclassical ones for coherent, squeezed vacuum, and Schrödinger cat states …

Estimation of quantum states by weak and projective measurements

D Das, Arvind - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
We explore the possibility of using “weak” measurements to carry out quantum state
