Thwarted dynamics by partial projective measurements

TL;DR

This paper investigates how repeated partial projective measurements on a particle influence the dynamics of a coupled particle-field system, highlighting the differences from unmeasured evolution.

Contribution

It introduces an analysis of thwarted system dynamics due to partial measurements, providing insights into measurement-induced modifications in quantum systems.

Findings

Partial measurements significantly alter system evolution

Comparison shows differences between measured and unmeasured dynamics

Results contribute to understanding measurement effects in quantum systems

Abstract

The dynamics of a system, made of a particle interacting with a field mode, thwarted by the action of repeated projective measurements on the particle, is examined. The effect of the partial measurements is discussed by comparing it with the dynamics in the absence of the measurements.
