Measurements of non local weak values

Aharon Brodutch, Lev Vaidman A

Published Jun 1, 2009• 10 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

Some recent attempts at measuring non local weak values via local measurements are discussed and shown to be less robust than standard weak measurements. A method for measuring some non local weak values via non local measurements (non local weak measurements) is introduced. The meaning of non local weak values is discussed.

Weak measurements of non local variables

Aharon Brodutch

Methods for measuring the weak value of non local variables are investigated. We analyze local (indirect) measurement methods for obtaining the weak values. We also describe some new (direct) methods (Non local weak measurements) for measuring the weak values of some non local variables.

WEAK MEASUREMENTS

J. G. Story, Nicholas W. M. Ritchie, Randall G. Hulet

A general description of weak measurements is presented. The “weak value” of an operator in pre- and post-selected systems is described both mathematically and using physical arguments. An optical experiment in which a measurement of a weak value has been realized is described. The possible use of pre- and post-selection as a means to amplify and detect weak effects is also discussed.

Determination of a weak value in an interferometric experiment and connection with non-Hermitian operators

Mathilde Remy, Mirko Cormann, Branko Kolarić +1 more

We develop a new method to measure a weak value by an interferometric experiment without a weakness condition. We demonstrate a link between this experience and the measurement of the average of a non-Hermitian operator.

Unifying attoclock and Larmor measurements through position-resolved weak values

Pablo M. Maier, Serguei Patchkovskii, Misha Ivanov +1 more

Abstract The measurement of tunneling times in strong-field ionization has been the topic of much controversy in recent years, with the attoclock and Larmor clock being two of the main contenders for correctly reproducing these times. While the non-zero Larmor tunneling time has been unambiguously detected, the tunneling time measured by the attoclock appears to vanish in tunnel ionization of a hydrogen atom. By expressing the attoclock as the weak value of temporal delay, we extend its meaning beyond the traditional setup and connect it to the weak-value interpretation of the Larmor clock. Our approach allows us to derive the position-resolved attoclock tunneling time. We show how this time, while non-zero at the tunnel exit, vanishes at the detector, far away from the atom. Formally, this means that the attoclock does not measure the “local” Larmor time, but instead a “non-local” time closely related to the phase time.

Non-statistical Weak Measurements

Jeff Tollaksen, Yakir Aharonov (a

Non-statistical weak measurements yield weak values that are outside the range of eigenvalues and are not rare, suggesting that weak values are a property of every pre-and-post-selected ensemble. They also extend the applicability and valid regime of weak values.
