General approach of weak-to-strong measurement transition for Fock-state-based pointer states

Abstract

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.
