Predicted rates for direct and indirect detection of dark-matter neutralinos depend in general on the spin content of the nucleon. Neutralinos that are predominantly $B$-ino are the likeliest candidates for detection via spin-dependent…

We study the weak values of a quantum observable from the point of view of the Wigner formalism. The main actor is here the cross-Wigner transform of two functions, which is in disguise the cross-ambiguity function familiar from radar…
Particles that are heavy compared to the electroweak scale ($M \gg m_W$), and that are charged under electroweak SU(2) gauge interactions display universal properties such as a characteristic fine structure in the mass spectrum induced by…

The variance of an observable in a pre-selected quantum system, which is always real and non-negative, appears as an increase in the probe wave packet width in indirect measurements. Extending this framework to pre- and post-selected…
Weak value (WV) protocols may lead to extreme expectation values that are larger than the corresponding orthodox expectation values. Recent works have proposed to implement this concept in nano-scale electronic systems. Here we address the…
A weak measurement on a system is made by coupling a pointer weakly to the system and then measuring the position of the pointer. If the initial wavefunction for the pointer is real, the mean displacement of the pointer is proportional to…

Compact binary systems with total masses between tens and hundreds of solar masses will produce gravitational waves during their merger phase that are detectable by second-generation ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. In order to…
This work examines the argument of weak values for general observables and develops a geometric description on the Bloch sphere. We apply the Majorana symmetric representation to reach this goal. The weak value of a general observable is…
We report on recently published experimental results on spin sum rules, and particularly on the generalized spin polarizabilities $\gamma_0(Q^2)$ (for both the proton and neutron) and $\delta_\mathrm{LT}(Q^2)$ (for the neutron). The data…
As an essential component of state-of-the-art quantum technologies, fast and efficient quantum measurements are in persistent demand over time. We present a proof-of-principle experiment on a new dimensionless pseudo-spin pointer based on…
