Reply to "Comment on 'Strong Measurements Give a Better Direct Measurement of the Quantum Wave Function' "

TL;DR

This paper defends the validity of a quantum measurement method against claims of normalization errors and unmeasurable quantities, reaffirming its correctness and experimental measurability.

Contribution

The authors refute claims of normalization errors and unmeasurable quantities in a previous quantum measurement method, reaffirming its validity and experimental feasibility.

Findings

The claimed normalization error is incorrect.

Quantities in the method are experimentally measurable.

The original method remains valid.

Abstract

This is the reply to [arXiv:1711.00764], in which the authors claim that there is crucial normalization error in PRL 116, 040502 (2016) and that some quantities appearing in the method of PRL 116, 040502 (2016) are not experimentally measurable. We show that the claim of [arXiv:1711.00764] is not correct and that the quantities appearing in PRL 116, 040502 (2016) can be measured.
