Description
Standard courses in quantum mechanics focus teaching of quantum measurement on projective measurement of observables. Quantum theory, however, allows for a much broader class of measurements known as Positive Operator Valued Measures. Here we will discuss these generalized measurements, laying specific emphasis on so-called unsharp measurements. In particular, we will show that adding unsharp measurements to the toolbox of control protocols of quantum experimenters can allow useful applications like real-time state estimation and feedback control, noise protection of quantum systems, and measurement of dynamical correlation functions.
