• Abstract: Aharonov's weak value amplification realized via weak measurement provides a versatile means to measure physical parameters with high accuracy, similar to quantum resonance epitomized by the Rabi and Ramsey resonances. The similarity between the two is not accidental: in fact, these two methods of precision measurement have recently been shown to be interconnected for the particular case of direct weak measurement. Here we show that this connection also holds in the case of indirect weak measurement, which is the standard scheme used mostly for studies of weak value amplification. We present a unified framework of weak measurements in which direct measurement appears as a special case of indirect measurement. This allows us to compare the measurement precision of different methods on a common basis, as demonstrated explicitly for the Rabi and Ramsey resonances, showing how the precision of the latter surpasses that of the former in the context of weak value amplification.

• Measurement incompatibility is strictly stronger than disturbance [44.99833362998488]
  Heisenberg argued that measurements irreversibly alter the state of the system on which they are acting, causing an irreducible disturbance on subsequent measurements. This article shows that measurement incompatibility is indeed a sufficient condition for irreversibility of measurement disturbance. However, we exhibit a toy theory, termed the minimal classical theory (MCT), that is a counterexample for the converse implication.

  It is commonly believed that the marginal likelihood should be reminiscent of cross-validation metrics and that both should deteriorate with larger input dimensions. We prove that by tuning hyper parameters, the performance, as measured by the marginal likelihood, improves monotonically with the input dimension. We also prove that cross-validation metrics exhibit qualitatively different behavior that is characteristic of double descent.

• Nonlocal Variable-Strength Measurements of N Qubits Using GHZ-like Entanglement [0.0]
  We present a scheme to implement genuine nonlocal measurements of N-qubit systems with variable strength, using GHZ-like entangled qubit meters. This method can be applied to the joint measurement of commuting product observables, enabling us to distinguish between nonlocal states, such as Bell states, with minimal disturbance and arbitrary resolution. An explicit relation between the overall measurement strength and the meter entanglement as quantified by the $n$-tangle is derived, opening the door to a new interpretation of the $n$-tangle as a resource for nonlocal measurements.

• Weak Measurement of Superconducting Qubit Reconciles Incompatible Operators [1.651690213572386]
  Weak measurements are shown to obey an uncertainty relation cast in terms of entropies. A weak measurement can reconcile two strong measurements' incompatibility, via backaction on the state. We provide experimental support for the physical interpretation of the weak value as a determinant of a weak measurement's ability to reconcile operations.
