Abstract

The non-invasive character of weak measurement in pre and post selected systems drives it to become a natural choice to consider in order to find joint correlations between commuting or non-commuting observables. In this project report, various ways to obtain the joint correlations of observables at the same time and at different times are mentioned. These are comprised of interferometric experimental ideas and beam shift experimental ideas. Finally, some interesting results found for beam shift by incidence of a beam on tilted polarizer are mentioned.
