Nonperturbative theory of weak pre- and post-selected measurements
This paper starts with a brief review of the topic of strong and weak preand post-selected (PPS) quantum measurements, as well as weak values, and afterwards presents original work. In particular, we develop a nonperturbative theory of weak PPS measurements of an arbitrary system with an arbitrary meter, for arbitrary initial states of the system and the meter. New and simple analytical formula...
متن کاملIntelligence: Pre-Theory and Post-Theory
Defining “intelligence” exemplifies a mistake that has historical precedent: confusing the role of pre-theory and post-theory definitions. In every area, pre-theory concepts give broad directions for investigation: are the movements of heavenly bodies affected by the existence of other heavenly bodies? Post-theory concepts add precision and predictability. The mistake occurs when a successful t...
متن کاملNonperturbative QCD Effects in Weak
QCD-based analysis of nonfactorizable parts of weak nonleptonic amplitudes is reported. Nonperturbative effects due to soft gluon exchange play a key role leading to the emergence of a dynamical rule of discarding 1/N c corrections.
متن کاملThe Curious Quantum Mechanics of Pre- and Post-Selected Ensembles
In a provocative paper, (~) Albert, Aharonov, and D'Amato proposed an analysis of preand post-selected ensembles in quantum mechanics (PPS ensembles) which seemed to show that in the interval between preand post-selection, certain noncommuting observables all have determinate values. Moreover, these values are context dependent: The value assumed by a degenerate observable (e.g., an observable ...
متن کاملInteraction with a pre and post selected environment and recoherence
The interaction of an open system S with a preand post-selected environment is studied. In general, under such circumstances S can not be described in terms of a density matrix, even when S in not post-selected. However, a simple description in terms of a two-state (TS) is always available. The two-state of S evolves in ti me from an initially ‘pure’ TS to a ‘mixed’ TS and back to a final ‘pure...
