A measurement consists in coupling a system to a probe and reading the output of the probe to gather information about the system. The weaker the coupling, the smaller the back-action on the system, but also the less information conveyed.…
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…

The quantum modes of a nonlinear Klein-Gordon lattice have been computed numerically [L. Proville, Phys. Rev. B 71, 104306 (2005)]. The on-site nonlinearity has been found to lead to phonon bound states. In the present paper, we compute…

Projective measurement is used as a fundamental axiom in quantum mechanics, even though it is discontinuous and cannot predict which measured operator eigenstate will be observed in which experimental run. The probabilistic Born rule gives…
