A typical imaging scenario requires three basic ingredients: 1. a light source that emits light, which in turn interacts and scatters off the object of interest; 2. detection of the light being scattered from the object and 3. a detector…
The effect known as ``induced coherence without induced emission'' has spawned a field dedicated to imaging with undetected photons (IUP), where photons from two distinct photon-pair sources interfere if their outputs are made…
Quantum logic operations can be implemented using nonlinear phase shifts (the Kerr effect) or the quantum Zeno effect based on strong two-photon absorption. Both approaches utilize three-level atoms, where the upper level is tuned on…

Quantum imaging with undetected photons (QIUP) is an emerging technique that decouples the processes of illuminating an object and projecting its image. The properties of the illuminating and detected light can thus be simultaneously…
We report the first observation of the Quantum Zeno and Anti-Zeno effects in an unstable system. Cold sodium atoms are trapped in a far-detuned standing wave of light that is accelerated for a controlled duration. For a large acceleration…
Purpose of this paper is to suggest a scheme, which can be realised with today's technology and could be used for entangling a probe to a photon qubit based on polarisation. Using this probe a translucent or a coherent eavesdropping can be…

The quantum Zeno effect is a striking feature of quantum mechanics with foundational implications and practical applications in quantum control, error suppression, and error correction. In recent years, the effect has branched off into a…
We investigate the extent to which ``interaction-free'' measurements perturb the state of quantum systems. We show that the absence of energy exchange during the measurement is not a sufficient criterion to preserve that state, as the…
We suggest a quantum simulator that allows to study the role of memory effects in the dynamics of open quantum systems. Our proposal is based on a bipartite quantum system consisting, for simplicity, of a harmonic oscillator and a few-level…
A complete, non-demolition procedure is established for measuring multi-qubit entangled states, such as the Bell-states and the GHZ-states, which is essential in certain processes of quantum communication, computation, and teleportation. No…

A discussion of the quantum Zeno effect and paradox is given. The quantum Zeno paradox claims that a continuously observed system, prepared in a state which is not an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian operator, never decays. To recover the…
