Throughout the "creation" of Quantum Mechanics, a theory has been built that is based on a single way of measuring quantum systems. These measurements have always taken place so that the act of measuring disturbs the system to the point of collapsing it, and then it acquires all the properties of a single state. However, in the late 1980s, a new way of measuring a quantum system emerged, called the Weak Measurement. With it, we were able to deal with experiments with a new approach, where the configuration of the measurement is changed by a factor that disturbs the system very little. With the way of measuring before this new concept, it would be impossible to detect small changes in a quantum system, but now, the weak measurement reaches new horizons. We developed a form of weak measurement using a general coupling in terms of the superposition of an initial state and a final state, in the case of a qubit. With that, it was possible to see in more detail how the process of this way of measuring occurs, where we will see how the coupling between the two states must be done to carry out such an experiment. We have also developed a weak measurement in a quantum system using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer for such a study. In it, with the help of a value that will determine how weak the weak measure is, we can carry out a measure in which we do not need to disturb a system to obtain information.
