Ultrasensitive beam deflection measurement via interferometric weak value amplification
We report on the use of an interferometric weak value technique to amplify very small
transverse deflections of an optical beam. By entangling the beam's transverse degrees of …

Measuring small longitudinal phase shifts: weak measurements or standard interferometry?
Recently, weak measurements were used to measure small effects that are transverse to the
propagation direction of a light beam. Here we address the question of whether weak …

Full characterization of polarization states of light via direct measurement
Ascertaining the physical state of a system is vital in order to understand and predict its
behaviour. However, due to their fragile nature, the direct observation of quantum states has …

Do we really understand quantum mechanics? Strange correlations, paradoxes, and theorems
F Laloë - American Journal of Physics, 2001 - pubs.aip.org
This article presents a general discussion of several aspects of our present understanding of
quantum mechanics. The emphasis is put on the very special correlations that this theory …

Measurement of quantum weak values of photon polarization
We experimentally determine weak values for a single photon's polarization, obtained via a
weak measurement that employs a two-photon entangling operation, and postselection. The …
