We present a proposal for reversing the weak (partial-collapse) quantum measurement on a cavity field with arbitrary maximum photon number. We start by putting forth a protocol to realize quantum phase gates between the cavity field and an ancilla qubit. Afterward, adopting these phase gates and some other quantum gates, we can determine the reversal of the cavity state just by observing the ancilla qubit. Compared to previous proposals, our proposal does not need any other weak measurement and can save reversal time, which is significantly important in quantum informatics and quantum computation.
