Abstract
Application of the path-integral approach to continuous measurements leads to effective Lagrangians or Hamiltonians in which the effect of the measurement is taken into account through an imaginary term. We apply these considerations to nonlinear oscillators with use of numerical computations to evaluate quantum limitations for monitoring position in such a class of systems.
