Determining complementary properties using weak-measurement: uncertainty, predictability, and disturbance

It is often said that measuring a system’s position must disturb the complementary property, momentum, by some minimum amount due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Using a ‘weak-measurement’, this disturbance can be reduced. One might expect this comes at the cost of also reducing the measure...
