Generalized relation between pulsed and continuous measurements in the quantum Zeno effect

Abstract: A relation is found between pulsed measurements of the excited state probability of a two-level atom illuminated by a driving laser, and a continuous measurement by a second laser coupling the excited state to a third state which decays rapidly and irreversibly. We find the time between pulses to achieve the same average detection time than a given continuous measurement in strong, weak, or intermediate coupling regimes, generalizing the results in L. S. Schulman, Phys. Rev. A 57, 1509 (1998).

“…According to Refs. [26,27], the decay channel of the qubit excited level gives an effective measurement interval δt = 4/Γ. By continuously monitoring whether the phase qubit switches to a voltage state, we will be able to determine the survival probability of the ground state.…”

“…If the decayed atom escapes from the trap by recoil, a Hamiltonian (rather than master equation) description is enough for the trapped atom [33,34]. We shall also assume a semiclassical treatment of the interaction between a laser electric field linearly polarized and a decay rate (inverse life-time) from the excited state.…”

“…In the example below, we shall take as a constant, although, in a general case, it could also depend on time, = (t), as an effective decay rate controlled by further interactions; see, e.g., Ref. [34]. The eigenvalues of this Hamiltonian are (33) and the normalized eigenstates are…”

“…the spontaneous decay, in some cases, Γ(t) can be controlled as an effective decay rate by further interactions, see, e.g., Ref. [40]). This is remarkable, since the noise and certain dissipation in the systems are no longer undesirable, but play an integral part in our scheme.…”
