abstract:
According to the quantum Zeno effect (QZ), frequent observations of a system can dramatically slow down its dynamical evolution. We show that the QZ is a physical consequence of the statistical indistinguishability of neighboring quantum states. The time scale of the problem is expressed in terms of the Fisher information and we demonstrate that the Zeno dynamics of particle entangled states might require quite smaller measurement intervals than classically correlated states. We propose an interferometric experiment to test the prediction.
