Comment on "Non-representative Quantum Mechanical Weak Values"

Quantum Physics 2022-10-12 v2

Abstract

Svensson [Found. Phys. 45, 1645 (2015)] argued that the concept of the weak value of an observable of a pre- and post-selected quantum system cannot be applied when the expectation value of the observable in the initial state vanishes. Svensson's argument is analyzed and shown to be inconsistent using several examples.
