Nuclear spins are affected by low frequency noise, and so one can naturally observe non-exponential decay behavior, which is prerequisite in observing QZE. We also describe that a key component for QZE, namely measurements on the nuclear spin, can be realized with NMR in the current technology", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-03-12T06:34:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum zeno effect", "unstable system", "nuclear spin", "nuclear magnetic resonance", "non-exponential decay behavior" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1209.3136M" } } }
