Cascaded Weak Measurements Amplification of Ultra-small Phases

Abstract

The weak measurements based amplification of ultra-small phase was proposed in our previous work. Due to the technical imperfections, the ability of amplification is usually limited in practice. Here we introduce the concept of cascaded weak measurements amplification so that the ability of weak measurements amplification can be further improved. A formula of determining the cascaded number of weak measurements amplification is derived. The method presented here could be found useful in high precision measurement e.g., gravitational waves detection.
