Abstract

We consider the simultaneous weak quantum measurements of kinetic energy and potential energy of the harmonic oscillator using the Arthurs-Kelly model for joint quantum measurements. The harmonic oscillator is preselected and post selected in its ground state. Under the weak coupling limit, the measurement may yield a negative value of the kinetic and potential energy.
