The optical analogue of quantum weak measurements have shown considerable promise for the amplification and observation of tiny optical beam shifts, namely, the Goos-H\"anchen (GH) and the Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shifts. Here, we demonstrate…

Using the profound interferometric philosophy of weak value amplification, we propose a simple, general and a robust polarization method for the amplification and quantification of small magnitudes of all possible polarization anisotropy…

We consider the use of cyclic weak measurements to improve the sensitivity of weak-value amplification precision measurement schemes. Previous weak-value experiments have used only a small fraction of events, while discarding the rest…

In 1988, Aharonov, Albert, and Vaidman introduced a new paradigm of quantum measurement in a paper which had the unwieldy but provocative title "How the result of a measurement of a component of the spin of a spin-1=2 particle can turn out…

Most studies for postselected weak measurement focus on using pure Gaussian state as a pointer, which can only give an amplification limit reaching the level of the ground state fluctuation. When the pointer is initialised in a thermal…

In the late 80s, a curious effect suggested by Aharanov, Albert and Vaidman opened up new vistas regarding quantum measurements on weakly coupled systems. There, a combination of a "weak" finite interaction together with a "strong"…

Weak measurement is unique in enabling measurements of non-commuting operators as well as otherwise-undetectable peculiar phenomena predicted by the Two-State-Vector-Formalism (TSVF). This article, the first in two parts, explores novel…

We present an "interferometric quasi-autocollimator" that employs weak value amplification to measure angular deflections of a target mirror. The device has been designed to be insensitive to all translations of the target. We present a…

The implementation of weak-value amplification requires the pre- and post-selection of states of a quantum system, followed by the observation of the response of the meter, which interacts weakly with the system. Data acquisition from the…
