Transition between weak and strong measurements in the presence of post-selection

The paper investigates measurement statistics in the intermediate regime between weak and strong measurements. It finds that meter statistics are nearly independent of measurement strength, suggesting a momentum measurement is occurring on the meter. This is explained by post-selection acting as a readout of information about the meter, leading to a 'freeze' in the post-selected shift until eigenvalues are resolved.
