Quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects induced by either frequent measurements, modulations, or a mix of them

Abstract
Using numerical calculations, we compare the collective transition probabilities of many spins in random magnetic fields, subject to either frequent projective measurements, frequent phase modulations, or a mix of modulations and measurements. For three different distribution functions (Gaussian, Lorentzian, and exponential) we consider here, the transition probability under frequent modulations is suppressed most if the pulse delay is short and the evolution time is larger than a critical value. Furthermore, decoherence freezing (with a transition rate equals to zero) occurs when there are frequent phase modulations, while the transition rate only decreases when there are frequent measurements and a mix of them, as the pulse delay approaches zero. In the large pulse-delay region, however, the transition probabilities under frequent modulations are enhanced more than those under either frequent measurements or a mix of modulations and measurements.
