We critically study the possibility of quantum Zeno effect for indirect measurements. If the detector is prepared to detect the emitted signal from the core system, and the detector does not reflect the signal back to the core system, then…
Recent studies suggest that both the quantum Zeno (increase of the natural lifetime of an unstable quantum state by repeated measurements) and anti-Zeno (decrease of the natural lifetime) effects can be made manifest in the same system by…
It was shown that different mechanisms of perturbation of spontaneous decay constant: inelastic interaction of emitted particles with particle detector, decay onto an unstable level, Rabi transition from the final state of decay…
The decay of any unstable quantum state can be inhibited or enhanced by carefully tailored measurements, known as the quantum Zeno effect (QZE) or anti-Zeno effect (QAZE). To date, studies of QZE (QAZE) transitions have since expanded to…
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…
Under certain assumptions it is shown that the decay of level 2 of a three-level system onto level 1 is slowed down because of the further decay of level 1 onto level 0. It is argued that this phenomenon may be interpreted as a consequence…
Physical systems in real life are inextricably linked to their surroundings and never completely separated from them. Truly closed systems do not exist. The phenomenon of decoherence, which is brought about by the interaction with the…
To build up a collective emission, the atoms in an ensemble must coordinate their behavior by exchanging virtual photons. We study this non-Markovian process in a subwavelength atom chain coupled to a one-dimensional (1D) waveguide and find…
The quantum Zeno effect is recast in terms of an adiabatic theorem when the measurement is described as the dynamical coupling to another quantum system that plays the role of apparatus. A few significant examples are proposed and their…
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…
The evolution of a quantum system undergoing very frequent measurements takes place in a subspace of the total Hilbert space (quantum Zeno effect). The dynamical properties of this evolution are investigated and several examples are…
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…
We examine a case study where classical evolution emerges when observing a quantum evolution. By using a single-mode quantum Kerr evolution interrupted by measurement of the double-homodyne kind (projecting the evolved field state into…
We study the dynamics of the populations of a model molecule endowed with two sets of rotational levels of different parity, whose ground levels are energy degenerate and coupled by a constant interaction. The relaxation rate from one set…
The dynamic behavior of the entanglement for two two-level atoms coupled to a common lossy cavity is studied. We find that the speed of disentanglement is a decreasing (increasing) function of the damping rate of the cavity for on/near…
We present a simulation of the quantum Zeno effect (QZE) on a quantum computer as an example of the relation between this effect and the bang-bang decoupling method in control theory. Although the true QZE can not be strictly implemented on…
The dynamics of a quantum system undergoing frequent "measurements", leading to the so-called quantum Zeno effect, is examined on the basis of a neutron-spin experiment recently proposed for its demonstration. When the spatial degrees of…
Quantum Information Processing relies on coherent quantum dynamics for a precise control of its basic operations. A swapping gate in a two-spin system exchanges the degenerate states |+,-> and |-,+>. In NMR, this is achieved turning on and…
Studying out-of-equilibrium physics in quantum systems under quantum quench is of vast experimental and theoretical interests. Using periodic quantum quenches, we present an experimentally accessible scheme to simulate the quantum Zeno and…
The quantum Zeno effect is usually thought to require infinitely frequent and perfect projective measurements to freeze the dynamics of quantum states. We show that perfect freezing of quantum states can also be achieved by more realistic…
