Quantum Zeno effect for exponentially decaying systems.
The quantum Zeno effect--suppression of decay by frequent measurements--was believed to occur only when the response of the detector is so quick that the initial tiny deviation from the exponential decay law is detectable. However, we show that it can occur even for exactly exponentially decaying systems, for which this condition is never satisfied, by considering a realistic case where the det...
متن کاملQuantum Anti–Zeno Effect
The interplay between quantum dynamics and quantum measuments continues to attract attention of physicists since the birth of quantum physics [1]. One of the classic examples of such an interplay is the, so called, quantum Zeno effect [2]. It consists in modifying the quantum evolution by the repeated measurments. The essence of the quantum Zeno effect is that repeated interrogation if the syst...
متن کاملA Summating, Exponentially-Decaying CMOS Synapse for Spiking Neural Systems
Synapses are a critical element of biologically-realistic, spike-based neural computation, serving the role of communication, computation, and modification. Many different circuit implementations of synapse function exist with different computational goals in mind. In this paper we describe a new CMOS synapse design that separately controls quiescent leak current, synaptic gain, and time-consta...
متن کاملUnderstanding the quantum Zeno effect
The quantum Zeno effect consists in the hindrance of the evolution of a quantum system that is very frequently monitored and found to be in its initial state at every single measurement. On the basis of the correct formula for the survival probability, i.e. the probability of finding the system in its initial state at every single measurement, we critically analyze a recent proposal and experim...
متن کاملZeno effect for quantum computation and control.
It is well known that the quantum Zeno effect can protect specific quantum states from decoherence by using projective measurements. Here we combine the theory of weak measurements with stabilizer quantum error correction and detection codes. We derive rigorous performance bounds which demonstrate that the Zeno effect can be used to protect appropriately encoded arbitrary states to arbitrary ac...
