Recently, the measurement transition between von Neumann's projective strong measurement and Aharonov's weak measurement is investigated theoretically and experimentally in many studies. In this work, the general formulas related to the weak-to-strong measurement transition are presented for Fock state based pointers, and as an example the coherent state based pointer case is illustrated. The possible ways to realize this proposal using the trapped ion system are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
