All you ever wanted to know about the quantum Zeno effect in 70 minutes

Abstract

This is a primer on the quantum Zeno effect, addressed to students and researchers with no previous knowledge on the subject. The prerequisites are the Schrödinger equation and the von Neumann notion of projective measurement.

23 pages, 8 figures. Based on a tutorial lecture delivered in Torun, Poland, on June 21th, 2012, during the 44th Symposium on Mathematical Physics on "New Developments in the Theory of Open Quantum Systems"
