Understanding the quantum Zeno effect
The quantum Zeno effect consists in the hindrance of the evolution of a quantum system that is very frequently monitored and found to be in its initial state at every single measurement. On the basis of the correct formula for the survival probability, i.e. the probability of finding the system in its initial state at every single measurement, we critically analyze a recent proposal and experim...
متن کاملQuantum Anti–Zeno Effect
The interplay between quantum dynamics and quantum measuments continues to attract attention of physicists since the birth of quantum physics [1]. One of the classic examples of such an interplay is the, so called, quantum Zeno effect [2]. It consists in modifying the quantum evolution by the repeated measurments. The essence of the quantum Zeno effect is that repeated interrogation if the syst...
متن کاملThe Quantum Zeno Effect in a Potential Model
Abstract. The radial equation of a simple potential model has long been known to yield an exponential decay law in lowest order (Breit-Wigner) approximation. We demonstrate that if the calculation is extended to fourth order the decay law exhibits the quantum Zeno effect. This model has further been studied numerically to characterize the extra exponential time parameter which compliments the l...
متن کاملComputer Model of Quantum Zeno Effect in Spontaneous Decay with Distant Detector
A numerical model of spontaneous decay continuously monitored by a distant detector of emitted particles is constructed. It is shown that there is no quantum Zeno effect in such quantum measurement if the interaction between emitted particle and detector is short-range and the mass of emitted particle is not zero. PACS numbers: 03.65.Bz
متن کاملQuantum Zeno effect for exponentially decaying systems.
The quantum Zeno effect--suppression of decay by frequent measurements--was believed to occur only when the response of the detector is so quick that the initial tiny deviation from the exponential decay law is detectable. However, we show that it can occur even for exactly exponentially decaying systems, for which this condition is never satisfied, by considering a realistic case where the det...
