Reflection and Transmission in a Neutron-Spin Test of the Quantum Zeno Effect
arXiv:quant-ph/9903009 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.60.3448
Abstract
The dynamics of a quantum system undergoing frequent "measurements", leading to the so-called quantum Zeno effect, is examined on the basis of a neutron-spin experiment recently proposed for its demonstration. When the spatial degrees of freedom are duely taken into account, neutron-reflection effects become very important and may lead to an evolution which is totally different from the ideal case.
