quantum Zeno effect

The matter wave leads to the spatial version of the quantum Zeno effect.

This finding puts the Bohm model in connection to the well-known quantum Zeno effect.

He, in collaboration with Baidyanaith Misra, also proposed the quantum Zeno effect.

It should be noted that the Quantum Zeno effect is dependent upon the reductionist postulate for reconciling the measurement problem.

It was shown that the Quantum Zeno effect persists in the many-worlds and relative states interpretations of quantum mechanics.

This effect is usually called the "quantum Zeno effect" as it is strongly reminiscent of Zeno's arrow paradox.

The Quantum Zeno Effect is used in commercial atomic magnetometers and naturally by birds' magnetic compass sensory mechanism (magnetoreception).

The observer-measurement relation is an active area of research today: see Quantum decoherence, Quantum Zeno effect and Measurement problem.

This universal phenomenon has led to the prediction that frequent measurements during this nonexponential period could inhibit decay of the system, one form of the quantum Zeno effect.

In his book Mindful Universe (2007), Henry Stapp claims that the mind holds the brain in a superposition of states using the quantum Zeno effect.

This short-time deviation from exponential decay was then used to suppress or enhance the decay rate, effects known as the Quantum Zeno effect or Anti-Zeno effect.

An experimentally studied situation related to this is the quantum Zeno effect, in which a quantum state would decay if left alone but does not decay because of its continuous observation.

Closely related (and sometimes not distinguished from the quantum Zeno effect) is the watchdog effect, in which the time evolution of a system is affected by its continuous coupling to the environment.

In 1989, David J. Wineland and his group at NIST observed the quantum Zeno effect for a two-level atomic system that is interrogated during its evolution.

Unlike the possible worlds of philosophy, however, in quantum mechanics counterfactual alternatives can influence the results of experiments, as in the Elitzur-Vaidman bomb-testing problem or the Quantum Zeno effect.

As an outgrowth of study of the quantum Zeno effect, it has become clear that applying a series of sufficiently strong and fast pulses with appropriate symmetry can also decouple a system from its decohering environment.

Thus, the Quantum Zeno effect does not apply to all interpretations of quantum theory; in particular, the many-worlds interpretation (a.k.a. the Multiverse Interpretation) and the Quantum Logic Interpretation.

The quantum Zeno effect (with its own controversies related to the problem of measurement) is becoming a central concept in the exploration of controversial theories of quantum mind consciousness within the discipline of cognitive science.

While they postulate quantum computing in the microtubules in brain neurons, Stapp postulates a more global collapse, a 'mind like' wave-function collapse that exploits certain aspects of the quantum Zeno effect within the synapses.

Also, the Quantum Zeno effect may only hold for directly observed quantum systems, meaning that statistically observed systems (i.e. macromolecular systems of approximately 30 or more atoms) might not be affected by the Zeno effect.

The quantum Zeno effect is a name coined by George Sudarshan and Baidyanath Misra of the University of Texas in 1977 in their analysis of the situation in which an unstable particle, if observed continuously, will never decay.

Foundational issues of Quantum Mechanics like the Quantum Measurement Problem, Quantum Nonlocality, the Macroscopic limits of Validity of Quantum Mechanics, Time in Quantum Mechanics, and the Quantum Zeno effect.

So in the decoherence picture, a perfect implementation of the quantum Zeno effect corresponds to the limit where a quantum system is continuously coupled to the environment, and where that coupling is infinitely strong, and where the "environment" is an infinitely large source of thermal randomness.

The versatility of the Mach-Zehnder configuration has led to its being used in a wide range of fundamental research topics in quantum mechanics, including studies on counterfactual definiteness, quantum entanglement, quantum computation, quantum cryptography, quantum logic, the quantum eraser experiment, the quantum Zeno effect, and neutron diffraction.

(2) Stapp's claim that quantum Zeno effect is robust against environmental decoherence directly contradicts a basic theorem in quantum information theory according to which acting with projection operators upon the density matrix of a quantum system can never decrease the Von Neumann entropy of the system, but can only increase it.
