When Amplification with Weak Values Fails to Suppress Technical Noise

George C. Knee, Erik M. Gauger

``Weak-value amplification,'' a quantum-mechanical phenomenon discovered only two decades ago, has received considerable interest for its potential as a metrological tool. However, its operation requires special circumstances, therefore carries costs. A new analysis shows that the associated costs outweigh the advantages when compared to other methods of signal amplification.

Weak value amplification via second-order correlated technique

Ting Cui, Jingzheng Huang, Xiang Liu +1 more

We propose a new framework combining weak measurement and second-order correlated technique. The theoretical analysis shows that weak value amplification (WVA) experiment can also be implemented by a second-order correlated system. We then build two-dimensional second-order correlated function patterns for achieving higher amplification factor and discuss the signal-to-noise ratio influence. Several advantages can be obtained by our proposal. For instance, detectors with high resolution are not necessary. Moreover, detectors with low saturation intensity are available in WVA setup. Finally, type-one technical noise can be effectively suppressed.
