Influence of squeezing on the weak-to-strong measurement transition
Abstract
In this work, we study the measurement transition for a coherent squeezed pointer state through a transition factor that involves a system-pointer coupling by using an arbitrary measured observable . In addition, we show that the shift in the pointer's position and momentum establishes a relationship with a new value defined as the transition value, which generalizes the weak value as well as the conditional expectaction value. Furthermore, a new strategy is introduced to achieve different measurement regimes by just adjusting the and parameters of the coherent squeezed pointer state, opening an interesting way to test quantum mechanics foundations. Our scheme has been theoretically applied in a trapped ion illuminated by a bichromatic laser beam, with a high potential to be implemented in future experimental setups.
