Quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno Effects: An Exact Model

Quantum Physics 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

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 simply changing the dissipative decay rate associated with the environment. We present an {\underline{exact}} calculation confirming this expectation.
