The temporal behavior of quantum mechanical systems is reviewed. We mainly focus our
attention on the time development of the so-called “survival” probability of those systems that …

We unify the quantum Zeno effect (QZE) and the “bang-bang” (BB) decoupling method for
suppressing decoherence in open quantum systems: in both cases strong coupling to an …

We study the out-of-equilibrium properties of $1+ 1$ dimensional quantum electrodynamics
(QED), discretized via the staggered-fermion Schwinger model with an Abelian $\mathbb {Z} …

The quantum Zeno effect is recast in terms of an adiabatic theorem when the measurement
is described as the dynamical coupling to another quantum system that plays the role of …

We introduce the notion of maximally multipartite entangled states of n qubits as a generalization
of the bipartite case. These pure states have a bipartite entanglement that does not …

A purely dynamical explanation for the quantum Zeno effect is proposed. It is argued that a
quantum system undergoes a quantum-Zeno-type dynamics as a consequence of a particular …

We analyze the quantum Zeno dynamics that takes place when a field stored in a cavity
undergoes frequent interactions with atoms. We show that repeated measurements or unitary …

We study the ground-state properties of a class of Z n lattice gauge theories in 1 + 1
dimensions, in which the gauge fields are coupled to spinless fermionic matter. These models, …

We reconstruct the chain of events, intuitions and ideas that led to the formulation of the
Gorini, Kossakowski, Lindblad and Sudarshan equation.

The temporal evolution of an unstable quantum mechanical system undergoing repeated
measurements is investigated. In general, by changing the time interval between successive …
