Null Weak Values and Quantum State Discrimination    [PDF]

Oded Zilberberg, Alessandro Romito, David J. Starling, Gregory A. Howland, John C. Howell, Yuval Gefen
We present a measurement protocol for discriminating between two different quantum states of a qubit with high fidelity. The protocol is comprised of a projective measurement performed on the system with small probability (a.k.a. weak partial-collapse), followed by a tuned postselection. We report on an optical experimental implementation of the scheme. We show that our protocol leads to an amplified signal-to-noise ratio (as compared with straightforward strong measurement) when discerning between the two quantum states.
