對含有糾纏的多體量子系統(tǒng)波函數(shù)的直接測量，證明這是一項純粹的量子技術(shù)，而非基于經(jīng)典的干涉過程。

Directly Measuring an Entangled State QT7w::ht  
$#6Fnhh}  
Measuring the quantum state of a system is difficult. The common way, called tomography, involves measuring multiple copies of the system and using the statistics of that ensemble to algorithmically guess the closest possible quantum state [1]. A more direct method exists using so-called weak values, which are the result of weak (low-precision) measurements on a pre- and postselected quantum state [2–4]. However, the weak value approach is limited when it comes to measuring nonlocal (spatially separated) quantum states. In a new work, the group of Guang-Can Guo at the University of Science and Technology of China has shown that it is possible to directly measure the wave function of two spatially separated entangled photons [5]. Rather than weak values, the researchers employ modular values, which are characterizations of a quantum system obtained by making a strong measurement of a qubit, called the meter, that is coupled to the system [6]. This demonstration may lead to more efficient methods for probing large entangled systems, as are imagined in future quantum information technologies. 7AZ5%o

To understand the context of this new work, let us consider the state of a single electron. We can think about all the possible measurements that can be made on the electron. For example, we can measure its spin direction along the z axis (up or down) or along the x axis. We can observe its position or its momentum in a certain direction. Quantum theory restricts these measurements by limiting the precision of knowledge obtainable for two complimentary observables, such as position and momentum. Additionally, there is the problem of measurement disturbance, where a strong measurement of one observable (position) irreversibly alters the result of another observable (momentum). However, as many have discovered, it is possible to make weak measurements where the disturbance is minimal. In these situations, some limited information can still be gained about complimentary observables without violating the strict limits set by quantum theory [7]. As an example, scientists can measure the spin of an electron by deflecting it with a magnetic field. If the magnetic field is weak enough, spin-up and spin-down electrons will only be displaced by a small amount from their mean trajectories. Such a weak measurement can leave the original spin state of the electron intact. `D&#U'wB

To extract the most from a weak measurement, researchers have devised experiments where they preselect and postselect which quantum states they look at. The output of such a measurement is called a weak value [4]. The exact meaning of the weak value has been debated, with some researchers claiming that it gives a direct view of underlying quantum features and others suggesting that weak values can violate standard quantum limits. Still, it is clear that the study of weak values represents a bone fide advance in our understanding of quantum measurement, particularly in the direct measurement of wave functions. B`'}&6jr.
