Post-selected von Neumann measurement with Hermite–Gaussian and Laguerre–Gaussian pointer states

Abstract: Through the von Neumann interaction followed by post-selection, we can extract not only the eigenvalue of an observable of the measured system but also the weak value. In this post-selected von Neumann measurement, the initial pointer state of the measuring device is assumed to be a fundamental Gaussian wave function. By considering the optical implementation of the post-selected von Neumann measurement, higher-order Gaussian modes can be used. In this paper, we consider the Hermite-Gaussian (HG) and Laguerre-… Show more

“…In a typical measurement scenario one usually assumes that the evolution is dominated by the central interaction, and then the so-called generalized von Neumann measurement is performed [35,36]. It is reasonable to assume that this part is acting only for a limited period of time, as one expect the measurement to occur after a finite number of time units.…”

“…A straightforward calculation the modular value Eq. (11) gives (A) s m = (2ǫ − 1) 2 . To change the modular value, e.g., from 0 to 9, we vary the parameter ǫ from 0.5 to 2.0 as shown in the Insert Fig.…”

“…So far, weak values have been studied in the context of weak measurements, and in such weak measurements, not only classical pointer states (such as Gaussian states [6][7][8][9] or Hermite-Gaussian/Laguerre-Gaussian beams [10,11] but also nonclassical pointer states (squeezed states, and Schrödinger cat states) are used [12,13]. Nonclassical pointer states have an advantage in controlling the precision of weak measurements, which have been recently demonstrated [11][12][13].…”

“…The second part involves a non-unitary transformation that achieves the realization of a particular measurement outcome by the projection postulate. Note that we do not consider a detection process to obtain observational data corresponding to a macroscopic experimental result 5 . All the above processes are summarized in the book [18], and illustrated in Fig.…”

“…However, to build up our intuitive picture of the quantum-mechanical Nature, tangible quantum Nature, quantum measurement theory has been developed such as the non-observable measurement setup [1,2]. Furthermore, there have been developed several applications of quantum measurement theory, e.g., the visualization of the quantum state [3,4,5,6]. Also, by using the unique quantum phases [7,8], the quantum-mechanical tunneling dynamics can be indirectly observed [9].…”
