Optical telecom networks as weak quantum measurements with postselection.
We show that weak measurements with postselection, proposed in the context of the quantum theory of measurement, naturally appear in the everyday physics of fiber optics telecom networks through polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) and polarization-dependent losses (PDL). Specifically, the PMD leads to a time-resolved discrimination of polarization; the postselection is done in the most natural w...
متن کاملImproving the precision of QT measurements.
BACKGROUND Accurate and precise QT interval measurement is very important for both regulatory and drug developmental decision making. These measurements are often made using a manual or semi-automated technique, and the associated variability necessitates sample sizes of around 50 to 70 subjects in thorough QT/QTc studies. The purpose of this study was to compare the reproducibility and precisi...
متن کاملPrecision frequency measurements with interferometric weak values
We demonstrate an experiment which utilizes a Sagnac interferometer to measure a change in optical frequency of 129 ± 7 kHz/√Hz with only 2 mW of continuous-wave, single-mode input power. We describe the measurement of a weak value and show how even higher-frequency sensitivities may be obtained over a bandwidth of several nanometers. This technique has many possible applications, such as preci...
متن کاملQweak: A Precision Measurement of the Proton’s Weak Charge
The Qweak experiment at Jefferson Lab aims to make a 4% measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic scattering at very low Q of a longitudinally polarized electron beam on a proton target. The experiment will measure the weak charge of the proton, and thus the weak mixing angle at low energy scale, providing a precision test of the Standard Model. Since the value of the weak mixing...
متن کاملPrecision measurement of the weak mixing angle in Møller scattering.
We report on a precision measurement of the parity-violating asymmetry in fixed target electron-electron (Møller) scattering: A(PV) = [-131 +/- 14(stat) +/- 10(syst)] x 10(-9), leading to the determination of the weak mixing angle sin2(thetaW(eff) = 0.2397 +/- 0.0010(stat) +/- 0.0008(syst), evaluated at Q2 = 0.026 GeV2. Combining this result with the measurements of sin2(thetaW(eff) at the Z0 p...
