NMR analogues of the quantum Zeno effect

چکیده
I describe a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) demonstration of the quantum Zeno effect, and discuss briefly how this is related to similar phenomena in more conventional NMR experiments.

Quantum Zeno effect in an unstable system with NMR
We theoretically propose a scheme for verification of quantum Zeno effect (QZE) to suppress a decay process with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Nuclear spins are affected by low frequency noise, and so one can naturally observe non-exponential decay behavior, which is prerequisite in observing QZE. We also describe that a key component for QZE, namely measurements on the nuclear spin, can be...
متن کاملConformational Study of some novel Methoxy Half-Analogues of Michler’s Ketone by NMR
One series of half-analogues of Michler’s ketone containing one or more terminal methoxysubstituents with variable tertiary amino groups have been used in this study. NMR spectralresults for the parent ketones confirm earlier findings that ortho proton shifts are apparentlyindependent from steric effects in derivatives of Michler’s ketone because the ring current andcarbonyl-induced shifts are ...
متن کاملLc Oscillating Circuit as the Simple Classical Analog of the Quantum Zeno Effect
In this work a simple classical analog of the quantum Zeno effect is suggested. As it is well known, in the quantum mechanics, in the limit of the infinite series of alternative short dynamical evolution and measurement, an unstable quantum system will never decay, that is called quantum Zeno effect. Here an ideal (without resistance), classical LC oscillating circuit with quick switch ON-OFF a...
متن کاملPerspectives on the quantum Zeno paradox
As of October 2006, there were approximately 535 citations to the seminal 1977 paper of Misra and Sudarshan that pointed out the quantum Zeno paradox (more often called the quantum Zeno effect). In simple terms, the quantum Zeno effect refers to a slowing down of the evolution of a quantum state in the limit that the state is observed continuously. There has been much disagreement as to how the...
متن کاملQuantum Zeno dynamics and quantum Zeno subspaces
A quantum Zeno dynamics can be obtained by means of frequent measurements, frequent unitary kicks or a strong continuous coupling and yields a partition of the total Hilbert space into quantum Zeno subspaces, among which any transition is hindered. We focus on the “continuous” version of the quantum Zeno effect and look at several interesting examples. We first analyze these examples in practic...
