Abstract :
While quantum measurement has long been seen as a deep philosophical conundrum, technological progress and new potential applications such as quantum information processing have turned it into a respectable experimental discipline as well. I will introduce a modern perspective on real-world quantum measurement, including the new paradigm of "weak measurement" and its (controversial) potential for addressing fundamental issues as well as for improving the precision of practical measurement.
