Enhanced quantum Zeno effect and bunching in the decay of interacting bosons from an unstable state
We theoretically study the decay of two interacting bosons from a leaky trap by tunneling through a potential barrier. Although decay rates are generally enhanced by repulsive interactions, we predict a strong suppression of the decay for short times. This leads to an enhancement of the quantum Zeno effect. Results from perturbation theory are supplemented by numerical calculations of the eigen...
متن کاملQuantum Zeno effect in an unstable system with NMR
We theoretically propose a scheme for verification of quantum Zeno effect (QZE) to suppress a decay process with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Nuclear spins are affected by low frequency noise, and so one can naturally observe non-exponential decay behavior, which is prerequisite in observing QZE. We also describe that a key component for QZE, namely measurements on the nuclear spin, can be...
متن کاملGeneral equation for Zeno-like effects in spontaneous exponential decay
It was shown that different mechanisms of perturbation of spontaneous decay constant: inelastic interaction of emitted particles with particle detector, decay onto an unstable level, Rabi transition from the final state of decay (electromagnetic field domination) and some others are really the special kinds of one general effect — perturbation of decay constant by dissipation of the final state...
متن کاملQuantum Zeno Effect, Instability, and Decay
Quantum Dynamics, encompassing all change in a Quantum system, is formulated in terms of states and their changes in time. In most cases, this evolution is given by either the Schroëdinger equation, or its equivalent in Heisenberg formulation. In addition to motion, it also describes transitions like the de-excitation of an atom accompanied by the emission of a photon, and like the photoelectri...
متن کاملManipulating decay rates by entanglement and the Zeno effect
We analyse a class of quantum dynamical processes which may lead to the hindering of the decay of a non-stationary state through appropriate entanglement with an additional two-level system. In this case the process can be considered as a module whose iteration is related to dynamical implementations of the so called quantum Zeno effect. The dynamical evolution of (normalized) quantum-mechanica...
