Complex counterpart of variance in quantum measurements for pre- and postselected systems
The variance of an observable in a preselected quantum system, which is always real and non-negative, appears as an increase in the probe wave packet width in indirect measurements. Extending this framework to pre- and postselected systems, we formulate a complex-valued counterpart of the variance c...
