Weak measurements and quantum-to-classical transitions in free electron–photon interactions

Abstract How does the quantum-to-classical transition of measurement occur? This question is vital for both foundations and applications of quantum mechanics. Here, we develop a new measurement-based framework for characterizing the classical and quantum free electron–photon interactions and then ex...
