系综和单原子系统的量子Zeno效应

Atomic Quantum Zeno Effect for Ensembles and Single Systems

Almut Beige, Gerhard C. Hegerfeldt, Dirk G. Sondermann

摘要:

所谓的量子芝诺效应本质上是理想测量的投影假设的结果。为了测试这种效应,Itano等人对原子系综进行了一项实验,通过短激光脉冲实现了快速重复的能级测量。使用动力学的考虑,我们给出了一个解释,为什么投影公设可以应用在很好的近似这样的测量。对理想测量的修正是明确确定的。这是用来讨论在多大程度上Itano等人的实验可以被认为是量子芝诺效应的测试。我们还分析了一个新的可能的实验,在一个单一的原子,随机的光和暗周期可以解释为量子芝诺效应的表现。我们表明,测量的观点给出了一个快速和直观的理解上述类型的实验,虽然更精细的分析必须考虑到校正。

英文摘要:

The so-called quantum Zeno effect is essentially a consequence of the projection postulate for ideal measurements. To test the effect Itano et al. have performed an experiment on an ensemble of atoms where rapidly repeated level measurements were realized by means of short laser pulses. Using dynamical considerations we give an explanation why the projection postulate can be applied in good approximation to such measurements. Corrections to ideal measurements are determined explicitly. This is used to discuss in how far the experiment of Itano et al. can be considered as a test of the quantum Zeno effect. We also analyze a new possible experiment on a single atom where stochastic light and dark periods can be interpreted as manifestation of the quantum Zeno effect. We show that the measurement point of view gives a quick and intuitive understanding of experiments of the above type, although a finer analysis has to take the corrections into account.
