1203.5632 (D. Sokolovski et al.)

Anomalous Zeno effect for sharply localised atomic states    [PDF]

D. Sokolovski, M. Pons, T. Kamalov
We analyse non-quadratic in time Zeno effect which arises when a few-atom state initially trapped between two high laser-induced barriers is briefly released to free evolution. We identify the Zeno time, analyse the energy distributions of those atoms which have escaped an remained inside the trap, and obtain a simple relation between the survival and non-escape probabilities. The relevant time scales are such that the effect would be observable for the atomic species used in current laser experiments.
