- As an essential component of state-of-the-art quantum technologies, fast and efficient quantum measurements are in persistent demand over time. We present a proof-of-principle experiment on a new dimensionless pseudo-spin pointer based on weak measurement. In the context of optical parameter estimation, we demonstrate that the parametric distribution's moment is obtained experimentally by employing the dimensionless pointer without measuring the distribution literally. In addition to the sheer liberation of experimental expense, the photon-countering-based pointer is well-calibrated for the detection of weak signals. We show that for signals $3$-$4$ orders of weaker in strength than the area-array camera method, an order of improvement in precision is achieved experimentally.
