Abstract

We demonstrate the conditional reversal of a weak quantum measurement on a photonic qubit. The state recovery fidelity, determined by quantum process tomography, is shown to be over 94% for partial-collapse strength up to 0.9. We also experimentally study information gain due to the weak measurement and discuss the role of the reversing operation as an information erasure.
