TLDR
Itano et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the environment-induced decoherence theory, where the spontaneous emission lifetime of the relevant level emerges as the “decoherence time”.

Quantum Zeno dynamics: mathematical and physical aspects

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the physical and mathematical aspects of the quantum quantum Zeno effect and propose alternative strategies to obtain a quantum quantum zeno dynamics and show that they are physically equivalent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of decoherence: Analysis and comparison of three different strategies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze and compare three different strategies, all aimed at controlling and eventually halting decoherence, and show that if the frequency of the measurements or pulses is large enough or if the coupling $K$ is sufficiently strong, all these control procedures accelerate decover.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum Zeno dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of a quantum system undergoing very frequent measurements takes place in a proper subspace of the total Hilbert space (quantum Zeno effect), and dynamical properties of this evolution are investigated and several examples are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Conceptual Analysis of Quantum Zeno; Paradox, Measurement, and Experiment

TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that the quantum Zeno effect is a genuine result of quantum theory and current quantum measurement theory, independent of the projection postulate, and the effect is of very general nature and rests on analogous arguments to those involved in Bell's theories.
Book ChapterDOI

Chapter 3 Quantum Zeno and inverse quantum Zeno effects

TL;DR: In this article, the quantum Zeno effect is explained in terms of the Schrodinger equation, without making use of projection operators, and a two-level system undergoing Rabi oscillations is considered.

Decoherence and the transition from quantum to classical

Wojciech H. Zurek
- 01 Oct 1991 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that without quantum physics we could not explain the behavior of solids, the structure and function of DNA, the color of the stars, the action of lasers or the properties of superfluids.

The Zeno’s paradox in quantum theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors seek a quantum-theoretic expression for the probability that an unstable particle prepared initially in a well defined state ρ will be found to decay sometime during a given interval.

Calculation of the natural brightness of spectral lines on the basis of Dirac's theory

TL;DR: In this paper, Diracschen Gleichungen der Wechselwirkung zwischen Atom and Strahlung in einer von der ublichen verschiedenen Art naherungsweise gelost.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum Zeno effect

TL;DR: The quantum Zero effect is the inhibition of transitions between quantum states by frequent measurements of the state by means of pulses of light in an rf transition between two ground-state hyperfine levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum Zeno effect without collapse of the wave packet

TL;DR: The only experiment in which the Zeno effect has yet been clearly demonstrated, though, allows no conclusion on the necessity or validity of the projection postulate, as shown by calculating the outcome of the experiment on the basis of the standard three-level Bloch equations.
