General approach of weak-to-strong measurement transition for Fock-state-based pointer states
The transition from von Neumann's projective strong measurement to Aharonov's
weak measurement has recently received large attention, theoretical and
experimental. In this work, we present a general approach to describe the
weak-to-strong measurement transition for Fock-state-based pointer pointer
states, and analyze in some details the case of coherent pointer states. A
possible realization of our measurement scheme using trapped ions is also
discussed.Comment: 12 pages,11 figure
