Reconstructing weak values without weak measurements
I propose a scheme for reconstructing the weak value of an observable without the need for weak measurements. The post-selection in weak measurements is replaced by an initial projector measurement. The observable can be measured using any form of interaction, including projective measurements. The reconstruction is effected by measuring the change in the expectation value of the observable due...
متن کاملSemiclassical theory of weak values
Aharonov-Albert-Vaidman’s weak values are investigated by a semiclassical method. Examples of the semiclassical calculation that reproduces “anomalous” weak values are shown. Furthermore, a complex extension of Ehrenfest’s quantum-classical correspondence between quantum expectation values of the states with small quantum fluctuation, and classical dynamics, is shown.
متن کاملSimple understanding of quantum weak values
In this work we revisit the important and controversial concept of quantum weak values, aiming to provide a simplified understanding to its associated physics and the origin of anomaly. Taking the Stern-Gerlach setup as a working system, we base our analysis on an exact treatment in terms of quantum Bayesian approach. We also make particular connection with a very recent work, where the anomaly...
متن کاملProbability Theory without Bayes' Rule
Within the Kolmogorov theory of probability, Bayes’ rule allows one to perform statistical inference by relating conditional probabilities to unconditional probabilities. As we show here, however, there is a continuous set of alternative inference rules that yield the same results, and that may have computational or practical advantages for certain problems. We formulate generalized axioms for ...
متن کاملColloquium: Understanding quantum weak values: Basics and applications
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 explosion of weak value experiments, its interpretation has historically been a subject of confusion. Here a pragmatic introduction to the weak value in terms of measurable quantities is presented, along w...
