Quantum Zeno phenomena: pulsed versus continuous measurement
arXiv:quant-ph/0106026 · doi:10.1002/1521-3978(200110)49:10/11<941::AID-PROP941>3.0.CO;2-V
Abstract
The time evolution of an unstable quantum mechanical system coupled with an external measuring agent is investigated. According to the features of the interaction Hamiltonian, a quantum Zeno effect (hindered decay) or an inverse quantum Zeno effect (accelerated decay) can take place, depending on the response time of the apparatus. The transition between the two regimes is analyzed for both pulsed and continuous measurements.
