Quantum foundations

a measurement that barely disturbs a system, whose averaged results after post-selection give weak values that can lie outside the usual eigenvalue range.

In quantum foundations, weak measurement refers to a measurement that barely disturbs a system, whose averaged results after post-selection give weak values that can lie outside the usual eigenvalue range. This meaning comes from Aharonov (1988) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
