Weak value controversy
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Recent controversy regarding the meaning and usefulness of weak values is reviewed. It is argued that in spite of recent statistical arguments by Ferrie and Combes, experiments with anomalous weak values provide a useful amplification techniques for precision measurements of small effects in many realistic situations. The statistical nature of weak vales was questioned. Although measuring weak value requires an ensemble, it is argued that the weak value, similarly to an eigenvalue, is a property of a single pre- and post-selected quantum system.
