Repeater-assisted Zeno effect in classical stochastic processes


Abstract in English

As a classical state, for instance a digitized image, is transferred through a classical channel, it decays inevitably with the distance due to the surroundings interferences. However, if there are enough number of repeaters, which can both check and recover the states information continuously, the states decay rate will be significantly suppressed, then a classical Zeno effect might occur. Such a physical process is purely classical and without any interferences of living beings, therefore, it manifests that the Zeno effect is no longer a patent of quantum mechanics, but does exist in classical stochastic processes.
