Procedure for direct measurement of general quantum states using weak measurement.
Recent work by Lundeen et al. [Nature (London) 474, 188 (2011)] directly measured the wave function by weakly measuring a variable followed by a normal (i.e., "strong") measurement of the complementary variable. We generalize this method to mixed states by considering the weak measurement of various products of these observables, thereby providing the density matrix an operational definition in...
متن کاملWeak measurement of quantum superposition states in graphene
We employ a weak measurement approach to demonstrate the very existence of the photoexcited interband superposition states in intrinsic graphene. We propose an optical two-beam setup where such measurements are possible and derive an explicit formula for the differential optical absorption that contains a signature of such states. We provide an interpretation of our results in terms of a non-Ma...
متن کاملDirect Measurement of Nonlinear Properties of Bipartite Quantum States
Nonlinear properties of quantum states, such as entropy or entanglement, quantify important physical resources and are frequently used in quantum-information science. They are usually calculated from a full description of a quantum state, even though they depend only on a small number of parameters that specify the state. Here we extract a nonlocal and a nonlinear quantity, namely, the Renyi en...
متن کاملNew Measurement of Quantum States
Some three-dimensional materials can exhibit exotic properties that only exist in "lower" dimensions. For example, in one-dimensional chains of atoms that emerge within a bulk sample, electrons can separate into three distinct entities, each carrying information about just one aspect of the electron's identity—spin, charge, or orbit. The spinon, the entity that carries information about electro...
متن کاملWeak measurement of quantum dot spin qubits
The theory of weak quantum measurements is developed for quantum dot spin qubits. Building on recent experiments, we propose a control cycle to prepare, manipulate, weakly measure, and perform quantum state tomography. This is accomplished using a combination of the physics of electron spin resonance, spin blockade, and Coulomb blockade, resulting in a charge transport process. We investigate t...
