A Quantum Particle Undergoing Continuous Observation
A stochastic model for the continuous nondemolition ohservation of the position of a quantum particle in a potential field and a bo-son reservoir is given. lt is shown that any Gaussian wave function evolving according to the posterior wave equation with a quadratic potential collapses to a Gaussian wave packet given by the stationary solution of this equation.. The recently developed methods o...
متن کاملNondemolition observation of a free quantum particle.
A stochastic model of a continuous nondemolition observation of a free quantum Brownian motion is presented. The nonlinear stochastic wave equation describing the posterior dynamics of the observed quantum system is solved in a Gaussian case for a free particle of mass m > 0. It is shown that the dispersion of the wave packet does not increase to infinity like for the free unobserved particle b...
متن کاملContinuous quantum states, Particle on a line and Uncertainty relations
So far we have considered k-level (discrete) quantum systems. Now we turn our attention to continuous quantum systems, such as a particle on a line, which can be in any of an infinite number of classical states. The quantum state of this system is a superposition over all possible positions of the particle. Let us denote by ψ(x) the amplitude with which the particle is at point x. We want ψ to ...
متن کاملWatching it Boil: Continuous Observation for the Quantum Zeno Effect
The quantum Zeno effect ( Q Z E ) is often associated with the ironic maxim. "'a watched pot never boils,'" although the notion of "watching" suggests a continuous aetieity at o(kls with the usual (pulsed measurement) presentation o f tile QZE. We show how continuous watching can provide the same halting o f decay as the usual QZE, and. for incomplete hindrance, we provide a precise connection ...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanical Motion of Relativistic Particle in Non-Continuous Spacetime
The quantum mechanical motion of a relativistic particle in a noncontinuous spacetime is investigated. The spacetime model is a dense, rationale subset of two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Solutions of the Dirac equation are calculated using a generalized version of Feynman’s checkerboard model. They turn out to be closely related to the continuum propagator.
