We establish a novel improvement of the classical discrete Hardy inequality, which gives the discrete version of a recent (continuous) inequality of Frank, Laptev, and Weidl. Our arguments build on certain weighted inequalities based on…

Kedem's Comment [arXiv:1402.1352] on our Letter [PRL 112, 040406 (2014)] contains only the criticism that we did not consider complex weak values. We point out follow-up work which uses the same analysis as in our Letter, includes any type…

We test dualities between three dimensional N = 2 gauge theories proposed by Aharony in [1] by comparing superconformal indices of dual theories. We also extend the discussion of chiral rings matching to include monopole operators.

Weak measurements in combination with post-selection can give rise to a striking amplification effect (related to a large "weak value"). We show that this effect can be understood by viewing the initial state of the pointer as the ground…

We construct a weak KAM theory for parameterized cobordisms and their relaxation, holonomic measures. We find a weak kam solution in that context, and we show that in many cases it corresponds to an exact form that satisfies a version of…

We prove a number of \textit{a priori} estimates for weak solutions of elliptic equations or systems with vertically independent coefficients in the upper-half space. These estimates are designed towards applications to boundary value…

We present a weak measurement protocol that permits a sensitive estimation of angular rotations based on the concept of weak-value amplification. The shift in the state of a pointer, in both angular position and the conjugate orbital…

In this paper, we investigate the two-weight Hardy inequalities on metric measure space possessing polar decompositions for the case $p=1$ and $1 \leq q <\infty.$ This result complements the Hardy inequalities obtained in \cite{RV} in the…

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…

We propose a fruitful scheme for exploring multiphoton entangled states based on linear optics and weak nonlinearities. Compared with the previous schemes the present method is more feasible because there are only small phase shifts instead…

Quantum measurement is one of the most fascinating and discussed phenomena in quantum physics, due to the impact on the system of the measurement action and the resulting interpretation issues. Scholars proposed weak measurements to amplify…

The weak value approximation has been in use for thirty-five years, but it has not as of yet received a truly complete derivation, leaving its mathematical validity in a state of limbo. Herein, I fill this gap, deriving the weak value…

We propose a protocol for a controlled experiment to measure a weak value of the electron's spin in a solid state device. The weak value is obtained by a two step procedure -- weak measurement followed by a strong one (post-selection),…

Platonov in 1991 conjectured that adjoint groups are rational as varieties over arbitrary infinite fields, and as a consequence have weak approximation. The rationality part of the conjecture was disproved by Merkurjev in 1996, but the…

A common type of weak-value experiment prepares a single particle in one state, weakly measures the occupation number of another state, and post-selects on finding the particle in a third state (a 'click'). Most weak-value experiments have…
