We experimentally demonstrate an alternative method for measuring nonlocal weak values in linear optics, avoiding the use of second-order interaction. The method is based on the concept of modular values. The paths of two photons, initialized in hyperentangled states, are adopted as the meter with the polarization acting as the system. The modular values are read out through the reconstructed final states of the meter. The weak value of nonlocal observables is given through its connection to the modular value. Comparing the weak values of local and nonlocal observables, we demonstrate the failure of product rules for an entangled system. Our results significantly simplify the task of measuring nonlocal weak values and will play an important role in the application of weak measurement.
我们通过实验证明了一种用于测量线性光学中非局域弱值的替代方法,避免了使用二阶相互作用。该方法基于模值的概念。将初始处于超纠缠态的两个光子的路径用作测量装置,而将偏振用作系统。通过测量装置的重构最终状态读出模值。非局域可观测量的弱值通过其与模值的联系给出。通过比较局域和非局域可观测量的弱值,我们证明了纠缠系统的乘积规则不成立。我们的结果显著简化了测量非局域弱值的任务,并将在弱测量的应用中发挥重要作用。
