Abstract
The statistical properties of the detection events constituting the interference fringes at the output of an interferometer are well-known. Nevertheless, there is still no unified view of what is happening to a quantum system inside an interferometer. Strong measurements of path operators destroy the interference effect. In weak measurements, an observable is weakly coupled to a pointer system and the resulting weak values quantify the observable by minimally disturbing the system. Previous which-way experiments with weak measurements could extract either the real or imaginary part of a single weak value with each ensemble. Here, we present the simultaneous full complex quantification of two path weak values with a single ensemble in a Mach-Zehnder neutron interferometer. Magnetic fields, oscillating with different frequencies, change the energy state in each interferometer path. The time-dependent phase between the energy states distinctly marks each path. The resulting beating intensity modulation at the interferometer output gives both path weak values. For the present experiment, the weak values' absolute value and phase directly describe the observed amplitude and phase of the intensity modulation.
