Quantum Zeno effect and the impossibility of determining the quantum state of a single system
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quantum Zeno effect of a single system is the effect of a series of measurements on the unitary time evolution of the system and on the ability to monitor this time evolution using the measurement results. This effect is shown to be equivalent to that of the indetermination of the quantum state of a single system @Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 4106 ~1995!#, in which one considers the statistics of the results of a series of measurements performed on a single system, with no time evolution in between successive measurements. @S1050-2947~97!51204-2#

Dynamical evolution of nonclassical properties in cavity quantum electrodynamics with a single trapped ion
In this paper, by considering a system consisting of a single two-level trapped ion interacting with a single-mode quantized radiation field inside a lossless cavity, the temporal evolution of the ionic and the cavity-field quantum statistical properties including photon-counting statistics, quantum fluctuations of the field quadratures and quantum fluctuations of the ionic dipole variables are...
متن کاملImpossibility of distant indirect measurement of the quantum Zeno effect
We critically study the possibility of the quantum Zeno effect for indirect measurements. If the detector is prepared to detect the emitted signal from the core system, and does not reflect this signal back to the core system, then we can prove that the decay probability of the system is not changed by the continuous measurement of the signal and the quantum Zeno effect would never take place. ...

متن کاملUnderstanding 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 کاملEffect of Temperature and Pressure on Correlation Energy in a Triplet State of a Two Electron Spherical Quantum Dot
The combined effect of hydrostatic pressure and temperature on correlation energy in a triplet state of two electron spherical quantum dot with square well potential is computed. The result is presented taking GaAs dot as an example. Our result shows the correlation energies are i)negative in the triplet state contrast to the singlet state ii) it increases with increase in pressure iii)further...
