We present an effective measurement scheme for the solid-state qubits that does {\bf not} introduce extra decoherence to the qubits until the measurement is switched on by a resonant pulse. The resonant pulse then maximally entangles the…
We employ the technique of weak measurement in order to enable preservation of teleportation fidelity for two-qubit noisy channels. We consider one or both qubits of a maximally entangled state to undergo amplitude damping, and show that…

We explore the use of weak quantum measurements for single-qubit quantum state tomography processes. Weak measurements are those where the coupling between the qubit and the measurement apparatus is weak; this results in the quantum state…
When quantum systems interact with the environment they lose their quantum properties, such as coherence. Quantum erasure makes it possible to restore coherence in a system by measuring its environment, but accessing the whole of it may be…
