摘要
We propose several multilevel systems that should make possible the experimental verification of the quantum Zeno effect, i.e. the inhibition of exponential decay of the population of an atomic level rather than the suppression of a coherent transition. Both numerical and analytical results are presented. Possible ions that realize the required level configurations are presented and we verify for realistic parameters that the quantum Zeno effect should be observable.
