Continuous Measurement: Quantum Jump Case

Andrew N. Jordan, Irfan A. Siddiqi

In Chapter 6, we discuss quantum jumps, or leaps, beginning with a historical discussion of quantum jumps, or leaps, and giving the motivating example of blinking atoms in trapped ions and quantum jumps in superconducting circuits. Despite the disruptive name, we discuss how jumps fit into the category of continuous measurement. In some cases, quantum jumps can be predicted, and even reversed. We build up the mathematical formalism by discussing the quantum Zeno effect, Lindblad-type master equations, leading to jump and no-jump dynamics - an inseparable combination of discrete and continuous dynamics. In fact, the discrete nature of the jump is illusory. We discuss the dynamics of a quantum jump and the transition from jumps to diffusion.

Why Quantum Jump Essay

Chao-Shang Huang

Atomic electron transition appears leaping from one energy level to another. The issue is, atomic particles are too small and too fast for our detectors to recognize their action and identity. I believe it is due to the sensors can only detect and register the repeated trajectory. Particle would have to revolving on the same orbit long enough. Otherwise, it would not trigger the reaction of the detectors. Transitional trajectory is short, and it does not repeat. It can not be detected, hence, jump.
