Zeilinger (New York Academy of Sciences, New York, 1995), Vol. 755. Most recently these authors have developed a scheme for the protective measurement of the wave function of a squeezed harmonic oscillator. However, as they showed this method is equivalent to a measurement of an ensemble of states;
