Weak measurement is a novel quantum measurement scheme, which is usually characterized by the weak value formalism. To guarantee the validity of the weak value formalism, the fidelity between the pre-selection and the post-selection should…
Assume $X$ is a variety over $\mathbb{C}$, $A \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ is a finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra and $X_A$ a model of $X$ (i.e. $X_A \times_A \mathbb{C} \cong X$). Assuming the weak ordinarity conjecture we show that there…
For every natural number $n$ we introduce a new weak choice principle $\mathrm{nRC_{fin}}$: Given any infinite set $x$, there is an infinite subset $y\subseteq x$ and a selection function $f$ that chooses an $n$-element subset from every…
We study the impact of weak identification in discrete choice models, and provide insights into the determinants of identification strength in these models. Using these insights, we propose a novel test that can consistently detect weak…
Let $X$ be a topological space and $\mu$ be a nonatomic finite measure on a $\sigma$-algebra $\Sigma$ containing the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $X$. We say $\mu$ is weakly outer regular, if for every $A \in \Sigma$ and $\epsilon>0$, there…
Let ${\bf x}=(x_n)_n$ be a sequence in a Banach space. A set $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ is perfectly bounded, if there is $M$ such that $\|\sum_{n\in F}x_n\|\leq M$ for every finite $F\subseteq A$. The collection $B({\bf x})$ of all perfectly…
In a weak measurement, the average output $\langle o\rangle$ of a probe that measures an observable $\hat{A}$ of a quantum system undergoing both a preparation in a state $\rho_i$ and a postselection in a state $E_\mathrm{f}$ is, to a good…
We call a bounded linear operator acting between Banach spaces weakly compactly generated ($\mathsf{WCG}$ for short) if its range is contained in a weakly compactly generated subspace of its codomain. This notion simultaneously generalises…
Weak Feller property of controlled and control-free Markov chains lead to many desirable properties. In control-free setups this leads to the existence of invariant probability measures for compact spaces and applicability of numerical…
A weak measurement consists in coupling a system to a probe in such a way that constructive interference generates a large output. So far, only the average output of the probe and its variance were studied. Here, the characteristic function…
In a weak measurement the real and imaginary parts of a weak value participate in the shifts of the complementary variables of a pointer. While the real part represents the value of an observable in the limit of zero measurement strength,…
Non-statistical weak measurements yield weak values that are outside the range of eigenvalues and are not rare, suggesting that weak values are a property of every pre-and-post-selected ensemble. They also extend the applicability and valid…
If $(X,d)$ is a metric space then the map $f\colon X\to X$ is defined to be a weak contraction if $d(f(x),f(y))<d(x,y)$ for all $x,y\in X$, $x\neq y$. We determine the simplest non-closed sets $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ in the sense of…
We examine weak measurements of arbitrary observables where the object is prepared in a mixed state and on which measurements with imperfect detectors are made. The weak value of an observable can be expressed as a conditional expectation…
Weak values are usually associated with weak measurements of an observable on a pre- and post-selected ensemble. We show that more generally, weak values are proportional to the correlation between two pointers in a successive measurement.…
In this, partly pedagogical review, I attempt to give a self-contained overview of the basis of (non-relativistic) QM measurement theory expressed in density matrix formalism. The focus is on applications to the theory of weak measurement,…
Weak measurement of a quantum system followed by postselection based on a subsequent strong measurement gives rise to a quantity called the weak value: a complex number for which the interpretation has long been debated. We analyse the…
A model is proposed for the statistical analysis of arbitrary-strength quantum measurements, based on a picture of "sampling weak values" from different configurations of the system. The model is comprised of two elements: a "local weak…
If $f\colon [0,1]^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ is of class $C^2$ then Sard's theorem implies that $f$ has the following relaxed Sard property: the image under $f$ of the Lebesgue measure restricted to the critical set of $f$ is a singular measure. We…
We provide general formulation of weak identification in semiparametric models and an efficiency concept. Weak identification occurs when a parameter is weakly regular, i.e., when it is locally homogeneous of degree zero. When this happens,…
