From SD (which is usually the press release without changes):<br /><br /><i>In order to overcome this hurdle, Rozema and his colleagues employed <b>a technique known as weak measurement wherein the action of a measuring device is weak enough to have an imperceptible impact on what is being measured</b>. Before each photon was sent to the measurement apparatus, the researchers measured it weakly and then measured it again afterwards, comparing the results</i>.Majuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369840391933337204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023805782808412230.post-22572163624085045572012-09-10T23:25:24.031+02:002012-09-10T23:25:24.031+02:00The term "weak measurements" as used in ...The term "weak measurements" as used in this context is probably a physics term of art meaning interaction mediated by W bosons and Z bosons (i.e. the "weak force") rather than the plain English meaning of an interaction where measurements of very small effects are implicated.
