We propose a usage of a weak value for a quantum processing between preselection and postselection. While the weak value of a projector of 1 provides a process with certainty like the probability of 1, the weak value of -1 negates the…

In logic programming, negation can be interpreted in various ways. Probably best known is the concept of "negation as failure", where "$\mathit{not}\, p$" is true if we have no evidence for $p$. On the other hand, strong negation requires…
