Broadening the scope of weak quantum measurements II: Past and future measurement effects within a double Mach-Zehnder-interferometer setting
read the original abstract
Following earlier applications of weak measurement to new cases (Part I), we proceed to explore its temporal peculiarities. We analyze an idealized experiment in which weak which-path measurements do not prevent consecutive weak interference effects, and then again the which-path information is recovered by strong measurements. We also show how the same effect can be obtained even by all these measurements being carried out on a single particle. The simplified setting enables critically assessing competing interpretations of the results. The most natural one is that of the Two-State-Vector Formalism, according to which the quantum "two-state" between an earlier and a later measurement is equally determined by both of them.
