We analyzed the effect of frequent measurements on the quantum systems that are chaotic in the classical limit. It is shown that the kicked rotator, a well-known example of quantum chaos, is too special to be used as a testing ground for…
The quantum Zeno effect arises due to frequent observation. That implies the existence of some experimenter and its interaction with the system. In this contribution, we examine what happens for a closed system if one considers a quantum…
Repetitive measurements can cause freezing of dynamics of a quantum state, which is known as quantum Zeno effect. We consider an interacting one-dimensional fermionic system and study the fate of the many-body quantum Zeno transition if the…
The quantum Zeno evolution of a quantum system takes place in a proper subspace of the total Hilbert space. The physical and mathematical features of the "Zeno subspaces" depend on the measuring apparatus: when this is included in the…
The quantum Zeno effect freezes the evolution of a quantum system subject to frequent measure- ments. We apply a Fisher information analysis to show that because of this effect, a closed quantum system should be probed as rarely as possible…
According to quantum Zeno dynamics (QZD), the evolution of a quantum system can be restricted to a subspace of its Hilbert space by frequent measurements. A crucial question in QZD of a particle's position is: how short the time interval…
The control of thermal decoherence via dynamical decoupling and via the quantum Zeno effect (Zeno control) is investigated for a model of trapped ion, where the dynamics of two low lying hyperfine states undergoes decoherence due to the…
We analyze the quantum Zeno dynamics that takes place when a field stored in a cavity undergoes frequent interactions with atoms. We show that repeated measurements or unitary operations performed on the atoms probing the field state…
The quantum Zeno effect (QZE) is the striking prediction that the decay of any unstable quantum state can be inhibited by sufficiently frequent observations (measurements). The consensus opinion has upheld the QZE as a general feature of…
The evolution of a quantum system is supposed to be impeded by measurement of an involved observable. This effect has been proven indistinguishable from the effect of dephasing the system's wave function, except in an individual quantum…
We present a decoherence-based interpretation for the quantum Zeno effect (QZE) where measurements are dynamically treated as dispersive couplings of the measured system to the apparatus, rather than the von Neumann's projections. It is…
Simply speaking quantum Zeno effect for an unstable quantum system represents total decay probability decrease by frequent decay detection. Analogously simply speaking quantum anti-Zeno effect for an unstable quantum system represents total…
We analyze the Zeno phenomenon in quantum field theory. The decay of an unstable system can be modified by changing the time interval between successive measurements (or by varying the coupling to an external system that plays the role of…
For the adiabatic version of Grover's quantum search algorithm as proposed by Roland and Cerf, we study the impact of decoherence caused by a rather general coupling to some environment. For quite generic conditions, we find that the…
The Zeno effect occurs in quantum systems when a very strong measurement is applied, which can alter the dynamics in non-trivial ways. Despite being dissipative, the dynamics stay coherent within any degenerate subspaces of the measurement.…
Near term quantum hardware promises to achieve quantum supremacy. From a quantum dynamical point of view, however, it is not unambiguously clear whether fundamental peculiarities of quantum physics permit any arbitrary speed-ups in real…
This paper explores the utility of instantaneous and continuous observations in the optimal control of quantum dynamics. Simulations of the processes are performed on several multilevel quantum systems with the goal of population transfer.…
We use a non-Markovian approach to study the decoherence dynamics of a qubit in either a low- or high-frequency bath modeling the qubit environment. This approach is based on a unitary transformation and does not require the rotating-wave…
We examine the quantum Zeno effect on the dynamics of quantum discord in two initially entangled qubits which are subjected to frequent measurements via decoherent coupling with independent reservoirs. The links between characteristic…
Three different manifestations of the quantum Zeno effect are discussed, compared and shown to be physically equivalent. We look at frequent projective measurements, frequent unitary "kicks" and strong continuous coupling. In all these…
