Sufficient conditions for the anti-Zeno effect

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v3 Mathematical Physics math.MP

Abstract

The ideal anti-Zeno effect means that a perpetual observation leads to an immediate disappearance of the unstable system. We present a straightforward way to derive sufficient conditions under which such a situation occurs expressed in terms of the decaying states and spectral properties of the Hamiltonian. They show, in particular, that the gap between Zeno and anti-Zeno effects is in fact very narrow.
