Summary

Description
English: Schematic depiction of quantum Zeno effect. A wave function smoothly "melts" as a result of its free time evolution, see the left part. A quantum measurement localizes the wave function in one of the nine sectors, where the choice of a sector depends on its overlap with the wave function, see the middle part. If one performs a series of successive measurements, the overlap of the wave function with border sectors is negligible and the function is localized every time in the central sector, see the right part. This last case corresponds to the quantum Zeno effect.
Čeština: Schématické znázornění kvantového Zenónova jevu. Vlnová funkce se v rámci svého volného časového vývoje "rozlévá" do stran, viz levá část. Kvantové měření lokalizuje vlnovou funkci v jednom z devíti sektorů, přičemž volba sektoru závisí na jeho překryvu s vlnovou funkcí, viz střední část. Pokud provádíme sérii těsně po sobě jdoucích měření, je překryv funkce s okrajovými sektory zanedbatelný a funkce je tak lokalizována neustále v prostředním sektoru, viz pravá část. Tento poslední případ odpovídá kvantovému Zenónově jevu.
