Amplification of Angular Rotations Using Weak Measurements
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 angular momentum bases, is used to estimate angular rotations. This is done by an amplification of both the real and imaginary parts of the weak-value of a polariz...
متن کاملState tomography via weak measurements
Recent work has revealed that the wave function of a pure state can be measured directly and that complementary knowledge of a quantum system can be obtained simultaneously by weak measurements. However, the original scheme applies only to pure states, and it is not efficient because most of the data are discarded by post-selection. Here, we propose tomography schemes for pure states and for mi...
متن کاملPhotonic crystal multiple diffraction observed by angular-resolved reflection measurements
Angular-resolved reflection measurements suggest that higher-order Miller-index crystal planes of a fcc photonic crystal reflect specularly about the normal to the 111 planes. We suggest that this phenomenon results from a two-step diffraction process where light is first Bragg diffracted by higher-order Miller-index crystal planes and is then two-dimensionally diffracted by periodicities withi...
متن کاملDo angular momentum induced ellipticity correlations contaminate weak lensing measurements?
Alignments in the angular momentum vectors of galaxies can induce large scale correlations in their projected orientations. Such alignments arise from the tidal torques exerted on neighboring proto-galaxies by the smoothly varying shear field. Weak gravitational lensing can also induce ellipticity correlations since the images of neighboring galaxies will be distorted coherently by the interven...
متن کاملWeak measurements with orbital-angular-momentum pointer states.
Weak measurements are a unique tool for accessing information about weakly interacting quantum systems with minimal back action. Joint weak measurements of single-particle operators with pointer states characterized by a two-dimensional Gaussian distribution can provide, in turn, key information about quantum correlations that can be relevant for quantum information applications. Here we demons...
