Weak Measurements: Typical Weak and Superweak Values

Abstract: Weak value is a physical property of a quantum system which manifests itself through a weak measurement using different pre-and post-selected ensembles of the system. The weak values of an operator may differ significantly from its eigenvalues and can even lie outside the spectrum if it is bound: they can be 'superweak'. The latter, originating due to a coherent superposition of waves, may appear as a 'supershift' on the measuring device. This property has potential application in the amplification and detecti… Show more

“…Recently, the weak value concept was applied to explore the possibility of the apparent superluminal velocity of the neutrinos as a superweak value of the velocity difference operator 13 . Weak values can assist in understanding many counterintuitive quantum results: they can be used as a fundamental test of quantum mechanics by ruling out a class of macro-realistic hidden variable theories, and are equivalent to the violation of generalized Leggett-Garg inequalities 14 , help resolve quantum paradoxes such as Hardy paradox 15 , apparent superluminal travel 16 , and counterfactual problems such as the three-box problem.…”
