Effects of postselected von Neumann measurement on the properties of single-mode radiation fields
Abstract
Postselected von Neumann measurement characterized by postselection and weak value has been found to possess potential applications in quantum metrology and solved plenty of fundamental problems in quantum theory. As an application of this new measurement technique in quantum optics and quantum information processing, its effects on the features of single-mode radiation fields such as coherent state, squeezed vacuum state and Schrödinger cat sate are investigated by considering full-order effects of unitary evolution. The results show that the conditional probabilities of finding photons, second-order correlation functions, Qm-factors and squeezing effects of those states after the postselected measurement is significantly changed are comparable with the corresponding initial pointer states. *Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 11865017) and the Introduction Program of High-Level Talents of Xinjiang Ministry of Science, China.
