Comment on "Weak value amplification is suboptimal for estimation and detection"

Abstract

The assumptions of Ferrie and Combes are irrelevant for realistic experimental situations. This undermines their conclusions.

A comment on "Weak value amplification is suboptimal for estimation and detection"

Yaron Kedem

By assuming that the weak value is real, Ferrie and Combes render their result inapplicable to weak measurement experiments which are aimed at enhancing precision.

Reply to comments on "Weak value amplification is suboptimal for estimation and detection"

Christopher Ferrie, Joshua Combes

Kedem's Comment [arXiv:1402.1352] on our Letter [PRL 112, 040406 (2014)] contains only the criticism that we did not consider complex weak values. We point out follow-up work which uses the same analysis as in our Letter, includes any type of weak values and draws the same conclusion. Vaidman's Comment [arXiv:1402.0199] on our Letter can be deconstructed in to two distinct logical fallacies.

Why the "classical" explanation of weak values by Ferrie and Combes does not work: a comment on Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 120404 (2014)

Holger Friedrich Hofmann, M. Iinuma, Yutaka Shikano

In Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 120404 (2014) [arXiv:1403.2362], Ferrie and Combes claim that weak values could be a statistical artifact caused by correlations between the disturbance and the post-selection condition imposed on the output. In this comment, we show that the disturbance caused by a weak measurement is sufficiently low to definitely rule out the model proposed by Ferrie and Combes.
