A common type of weak-value experiment prepares a single particle in one state, weakly measures the occupation number of another state, and post-selects on finding the particle in a third state (a 'click'). Most weak-value experiments have…

The mainstream textbooks of quantum mechanics explains the quantum state collapses into an eigenstate in the measurement, while other explanations such as hidden variables and multi-universe deny the collapsing. Here we propose an ideal…

We consider evolution of a double quantum dot (DQD) two-electron spin qubit which is continuously weakly measured with a linear charge detector (quantum point contact). Since the interaction between the spins of two electrons depends on…
