چکیده

In this work a simple classical analog of the quantum Zeno effect is suggested. As it is well known, in the quantum mechanics, in the limit of the infinite series of alternative short dynamical evolution and measurement, an unstable quantum system will never decay, that is called quantum Zeno effect. Here an ideal (without resistance), classical LC oscillating circuit with quick switch ON-OFF alternation is considered. In the limit of the infinite series of alternative short electrical current regime (switch in the ON state) and no-current regime (current breaking by quick switch ON-OFF state alternation) given LC circuit will never oscillate. Obviously, it represents a classical electro-dynamical Zeno effect deeply analogous to quantum Zeno effect. All this admits a general definition of the Zeno effect that includes both quantum and classical cases (without any classical interpretation of the quantum Zeno effect or quantum interpretation of the classical Zeno effect). In this work a simple classical analog of the quantum Zeno effect will be suggested. Namely, as it is well known, in the quantum mechanics, in the limit of the infinite series of alternative short dynamical evolution and measurement, an unstable quantum system will never decay, that is called quantum Zeno effect. It is usual opinion that Zeno effect can exist within quantum mechanics only. Here an ideal (without resistance), classical LC oscillating circuit with quick switch ON-OFF alternation will be considered. In the limit of the infinite series of alternative short electrical current regime (switch in the ON state) and no-current regime (current breaking by quick switch ON-OFF state alternation) given LC circuit will never oscillate. Obviously, it represents a classical electro-dynamical Zeno effect deeply analogous to quantum Zeno effect. All this admits a general definition of the Zeno effect that includes both quantum and classical cases (without any classical interpretation of the quantum Zeno effect or quantum interpretation of the classical Zeno effect). More precisely, Zeno effect can be analogously defined by the infinite series of the two alternative processes in the classical as well as in the quantum physics. But, within classical physics alternative processes, current regime and no-current regime, necessary represent simple and complex dynamical evolution. On the other hand, within quantum mechanics second process,

A Classical Switched LC/LR Circuit Modeling the Quantum Zeno and Anti-Zeno Effects

Generalizing a recent analysis, we model the quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects with a quickly switched, ideal LC/LR circuit, in the limiting case of it alternating very many times between its short LC and even shorter LR regime. If the initial current is arranged to be negligible, the capacitor turns out never to discharge. If the initial current is made dominant, this capacitor discharges, an...

بررسی اتلاف در مدار کوانتومی LC

In this article we consider the resistance of a quantum LC circuit as a heat bath. The heat bath can be modeled by a collection of quantum harmonic oscillators with a continuum of frequencies. By using the minimal coupling method between the circuit and the field describing the environment, the process of energy dissipation and probability transitions between the energy levels of the quantum c...

A new method for acquisition and analysis of single unit recording data

Single unit recording has been used as a well-known technique to study the electrical behavior of neurons. In this respect, the classical methods are rather expensive. In this study a simple and inexpensive method for single unit recording studies has been introduced. Computer sound card was used for data acquisition. Neural responses were saved via simple sound applicable packages and then ana...

Quantum Dynamics with Intermediate Measurements in Agreement with the Classical Dynamics B.kaulakys

The effect of repetitive measurement for quantum dynamics of driven by an intensive external force of the simple few-level systems as well as of the multilevel systems that exhibit the quantum localisation of classical chaos is investigated. Frequent measurement of the simple system yields to the quantum Zeno effect while that of the suppressed quantum system, which classical counterpart exhibi...

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...
