- Abstract: To prepare quantum states and extract information, it is often assumed that
one can perform a perfectly projective measurement. Such measurements can
achieve an uncorrelated system and environment state. However, perfectly
projective measurements can be difficult or impossible to perform in practice.
We investigate the limitations of repeated non-projective measurements in
preparing a quantum system. For an $n$-qubit system initially entangled with
its environment and subsequently prepared with measurements, using a sequence
of weak measurements, we show that some entanglement remains unless one of the
measurement operators becomes perfectly projective through an extreme limiting
process. Removing initial (unentangled) correlations between a system and its
environment and the scenario where measurement outcomes are not tracked are
also discussed. We present results for $n$-qubit and $n$-dimensional input
states.

Cooling a quantum system to its ground state is important for the characterization of non-trivial interacting systems.
We identify conditions under which measurement-based cooling protocols can be taken to the dilute limit.
For two examples of frustration-free one-dimensional spin chains, we show that steering on a single link is sufficient to cool these systems into their unique ground states.

Entanglement -- the coherent correlations between parties in a quantum system -- is well-understood and quantifiable.
Despite the utility of such systems, methods for quantifying high-dimensional entanglement are more limited and experimentally challenging.
We present a novel certification method whose measurement requirements scale linearly with dimension subsystem.

Heisenberg's uncertainty relation says there is an ultimate limit to how precisely we may predict the outcome of position and momentum measurements on a quantum system.
We show that this limit may be violated by an arbitrarily large factor if one aims, instead, to guess the unknown value of a past measurement.

Weak measurements in particular, through their back-action on the system, may enable various levels of coherent control.
We measure the geometric phases induced by sequences of weak measurements and demonstrate a topological transition in the geometric phase controlled by measurement strength.
Our results open new horizons for measurement-enabled quantum control of many-body topological states.

We show that the state-update rule in this setting is consistent with causality provided that the coupling between the system and probe is local.
