“…This paper can be used as a representative work of quantum weak measurement to amplify a detector signal. In addition, the review "Colloquium: Understanding quantum weak values: Basics and applications [1]" had concluded its application to their distinct experimental techniques: weak-value amplification [18,38,39], direct quantum state and geometric determination [40][41][42] and a measurable window into non-classical features of quantum mechanics [10,43,44].…”

“…In addition, the weak value amplification(WVA) technique can help to amplify a detector signal and enable the sensitive estimation of unknown small evolution parameters. Therefore, weak measurement has also been utilized in metrology [14][15][16][17][18], and it has a variety of applications in precision detection as well as its advantage of high precision [4]. Specifically, the Spin Hall Effect of Light can be enhanced by nearly four orders of magnitude with the WVA technique [19]; an interferometric weak value technique can amplify very small transverse deflections of an optical beam [20]; a weak measurement protocol can permit a sensitive estimation of angular rotations in the azimuthal degree of freedom [21].…”

Weak measurement has enabled fundamental studies in both experiment and theory of quantum measurement. Numerous researches have indicated that weak measurements have a wide range of application and scientific research value. In our work, we used bibliometric methods to evaluate the global scientific output of research on Weak measurement and explore the current status and trends in this field from 2000 to 2020. The R bibliometric package was used for quantitative and qualitative analyses of publication outputs and author contributions. In total, 636 related articles and reviews were included in the final analysis. The main results were as follows: The number of publications has increased substantially with time. Physical Review A was the most active journal. The country and institution contributing the most to this field were The United States and University Rochester respectively. The analysis of the conceptual structure of keywords indicated that weak measurements were involved a variety of metrology, quantum communication, and nonclassical features of quantum mechanics. Our bibliometric analysis shows that weak measurement research continues to be a hot-spot. The focus has evolved to study quantum information and amplify weak signals.

“…However, these methods suffer from being extremely tedious, and the fact that the anisotropy effects, often very small, were very hard to probe. We recently came up with an interferometric protocol to characterize such small anisotropy effects using the weak value amplification (WVA) technique realized in a traditional classical Mach-Zehnder interferometer [26].…”

The quantification of simultaneously present weak polarization anisotropy effects are of practical interest from polarimetric and metrological perspective. Recently, in Phys. Rev. A 103, 053518, we experimentally demonstrated a classical analog of post-selected quantum weak measurement through optical interferometry to amplify all possible weak polarization anisotropy effects individually. Here, we propose an extension of this interferometric framework for applying it in a realistic scenario to quantify simultaneously present polarization anisotropy effects. Moreover, a clear correspondence of differential Jones matrix approach with the present scheme is indicated. The proposed scheme enables the measurement of differential Jones matrices through characteristic Stokes vector elements. Our proposal leads to a new class of polarimeter for experimental detection of differential Jones matrix of non-depolarizing anisotropic medium exhibiting simultaneous multiple polarimetric effects of tiny magnitude.

Even though weak measurements and weak value amplification (WVA) are founded on the principles of quantum mechanics and quantum measurements, these have found widespread applications in optics due to their inherent origin in wave interference. Besides their use in addressing foundational questions of quantum mechanics or for resolving quantum paradoxes, weak measurements and WVA have thus been used for numerous metrological applications, e.g., quantification of small optical beam displacement, tiny angular rotation, determination of extremely small phase shifts, spectral shifts, unraveling weak fundamental optical effects, improved optical imaging, amplifying weak signal and extracting small physical parameters and so forth. In this review, after providing the mathematical foundation of weak measurement and WVA, some of the metrological applications of weak measurements in the classical optics domain are briefly summarized, and the controversies and debates on the potential advantages of WVA in the estimation and detection of weak signal are discussed, and the interferometric philosophy of WVA is elucidated. The experimental weak measurement and WVA schemes in the domain of quantum optics are also discussed and highlighted the new perspectives and emerging trends of weak measurements in both the classical and quantum optics domain and their prospects in the development of next‐generation ultra‐sensitive optical devices.
