Quantum Zeno phenomenon on a single solid-state spin

Janik Wolters, Max Strauß, Rolf Simon Schoenfeld +1 more

The quantum Zeno effect, i.e., the inhibition of coherent quantum dynamics by measurement operations, is one of the most intriguing predictions of quantum mechanics. Here we experimentally demonstrate the quantum Zeno effect by inhibiting the microwave-driven coherent spin dynamics between two ground-state spin levels of a single nitrogen vacancy center in diamond. Our experiments are supported by a detailed analysis of the population dynamics via a semiclassical model.

Quantum Zeno effect in self-sustaining systems: Suppressing phase diffusion via repeated measurements

Wenlin Li, Najmeh Eshaqi-Sani, Wen-Zhao Zhang +1 more

We study the effect of frequent projective measurements on the dynamics of quantum self-sustaining systems by considering the prototypical example of the quantum van der Pol oscillator. Quantum fluctuations are responsible for phase diffusion which progressively blurs the semiclassical limit-cycle dynamics and synchronization, either to an external driving or between two coupled self-sustained oscillators. We show that by subjecting the system to repeated measurements of heterodyne type at an appropriate repetition frequency one can significantly suppress phase diffusion without spoiling the semiclassical dynamics. This quantum Zeno-like effect may be effective in the case of either one or two coupled van der Pol oscillators, and we discuss its possible implementation in the case of trapped ions.

Quantum Populations in Zeno Regions inside Black Holes

Ludwig Eglseer, Stefan Hofmann, Marc Schneider

Schwarzschild black-hole interiors border on space-like singularities representing classical information leaks. We show that local quantum physics is decoupled from these leaks due to dynamically generated boundaries, called Zeno borders. Beyond Zeno borders black-hole interiors become asymptotically silent, and quantum fields evolve freely towards the geodesic singularity with vanishing probability measure for populating the geodesic boundary. Thus Zeno borders represent a probabilistic completion of Schwarzschild black holes within the semiclassical framework.
