We discuss the partitioning of the Hilbert space of a quantum system induced by the interaction with another system at thermal equilibrium, showing that the higher the temperature the more effective is the formation of Zeno subspaces. We show that our analysis keeps its validity even in the case of interaction with a bosonic reservoir, provided appropriate limitations of the relevant bandwidth.

We study the short-time and medium-time behavior of the survival probability of decaying states in the framework of the $N$-level Friedrichs model. The degenerated and nearly degenerated systems are discussed in detail. We show that in these systems decay can be considerably slowed down or even stopped by appropriate choice of initial conditions. We analyze the behaviour of the multilevel system within the so-called Zeno era. We examine and compare two different definitions of the Zeno time. We demonstrate that the Zeno era can be considerably enlarged by proper choice of the system parameters.
Frequent observation of a quantum system leads to quantum Zeno physics, where the system evolution is constrained to states commensurate with the measurement outcome. We show that, more generally, the system can evolve between such states through hig her-order virtual processes that pass through states outside the measurement subspace. We derive effective Hamiltonians to describe this evolution, and the dependence on the time between measurements. We demonstrate application of this phenomena to prototypical quantum many-body system examples, spin chains and atoms in optical lattices, where it facilitates correlated dynamical effects.
We put forth, theoretically and experimentally, the possibility of drastically cooling down (purifying) thermal ensembles (baths) of solid-state spins via a sequence of projective measurements of a probe spin that couples to the bath in an arbitrary fashion. If the measurement intervals are chosen to correspond to the anti-Zeno regime of the probe-bath exchange, then a short sequence of measurements with selected outcomes is found to have an appreciable success probability. Such a sequence is shown to condition the bath evolution so that it can dramatically enhance the bath-state purity and yield a low-entropy steady state of the bath. This purified bath state persists after the measurements and can be chosen, on-demand, to allow for Zeno- or anti-Zeno- like evolution of quantum systems coupled to the purified bath. The experimental setup for observing these effects consists of a Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) center in diamond at low temperature that acts as a probe of the surrounding nuclear spin bath. The NV single-shot measurements are induced by optical fields at microsecond intervals.

The effect of the anti-rotating terms on the short-time evolution and the quantum Zeno (QZE) and anti-Zeno (AQZE) effects is studied for a two-level system coupled to a bosonic environment. A unitary transformation and perturbation theory are used to obtain the electron self-energy, energy shift and the enhanced QZE or the AQZE, simultaneously. The calculated Zeno time depends on the atomic transition frequency sensitively. When the atomic transition frequency is smaller than the central frequency of the spectrum of boson environment, the Zeno time is prolonged and the anti-rotating terms enhance the QZE; when it is larger than that the Zeno time is reduced and the anti-rotating terms enhance the AQZE.
We discuss an implementation of Quantum Zeno Dynamics in a Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics experiment. By performing repeated unitary operations on atoms coupled to the field, we restrict the field evolution in chosen subspaces of the total Hilbert sp ace. This procedure leads to promising methods for tailoring non-classical states. We propose to realize `tweezers picking a coherent field at a point in phase space and moving it towards an arbitrary final position without affecting other non-overlapping coherent components. These effects could be observed with a state-of-the-art apparatus.
