= Weak measurement
{wiki=Weak_measurement}
Weak measurement is a concept in quantum mechanics that allows for the extraction of information about a quantum system without significantly disturbing it. This approach contrasts with traditional (or "strong") measurements, which typically collapse the quantum state of the system into one of its eigenstates and irreversibly alter its properties. In a weak measurement, the interaction between the measuring device and the quantum system is intentionally kept minimal, leading to only a slight disturbance of the system's state.
