Direct Violation of Heisenberg's Precision Limit by Weak Measurements

We present the first direct experimental violation of Heisenberg’s precision limit. We demonstrate this violation in the polarization of a single photon using weak measurements, implemented by a one-way quantum computing technique.

Violation of Heisenberg’s Measurement-Disturbance Relationship by Weak Measurements

Lee A. Rozema, Ardavan Darabi, Dylan H. Mahler +3 more

While there is a rigorously proven relationship about uncertainties intrinsic to any quantum system, often referred to as "Heisenberg's uncertainty principle," Heisenberg originally formulated his ideas in terms of a relationship between the precision of a measurement and the disturbance it must create. Although this latter relationship is not rigorously proven, it is commonly believed (and taught) as an aspect of the broader uncertainty principle. Here, we experimentally observe a violation of Heisenberg's "measurement-disturbance relationship", using weak measurements to characterize a quantum system before and after it interacts with a measurement apparatus. Our experiment implements a 2010 proposal of Lund and Wiseman to confirm a revised measurement-disturbance relationship derived by Ozawa in 2003. Its results have broad implications for the foundations of quantum mechanics and for practical issues in quantum measurement.

Precision metrology with weak measurements

Lijian Zhang, Animesh Datta, Ian A. Walmsley

We develop a framework for the precision metrology with weak measurements, and use it to compare the precisions of different measurement strengths. In particular, we show a weak-measurement scheme that can achieve the Heisenberg limit.
