Comment on "A linear optics implementation of weak values in Hardy's paradox"
arXiv:quant-ph/0504122 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.72.016101
Abstract
A recent experimental proposal by Ahnert and Payne [S.E. Ahnert and M.C. Payne, Phys. Rev. A 70, 042102 (2004)] outlines a method to measure the weak value predictions of Aharonov in Hardy's paradox. This proposal contains flaws such as the state preparation method and the procedure for carrying out the requisite weak measurements. We identify previously published solutions to some of the flaws.
