Observation of quantum Zeno effects for localized spins — •Vitalie Nedelea — Experimentelle Physik 2, Technische Universität Dortmund, 44221 Dortmund, Germany

One of the main dephasing mechanisms for the localized carrier spins in semiconductors is the coupling to the fluctuating nuclear spin environment. Here we present an experimental observation on the effects of the quantum back action under pulsed optical measurements of spin ensemble and demonstrate that the nuclei-induced spin relaxation can be influenced. We show that the fast measurements freeze the spin dynamics and increase the effective spin relaxation time, the so-called quantum Zeno effect. Furthermore, we demonstrate that if the measurement rate is comparable with the spin precession frequency in the effective magnetic field, the spin relaxation rate increases and becomes faster than in the absence of the measurements, an effect known as the quantum antiZeno effect. A theory describing both regimes allows us to extract the system parameters and the strength of the quantum back action.
