The quantum Zeno effect inhibits transport and induces localization. Beyond the Zeno freezing and on long time scales, a new dynamics emerges in the form of a Markov process. Studying fermionic and bosonic chains under strong monitoring, we are able to identify the quantum origin of the classical exclusion process, inclusion process and a sub-class of the misanthrope process. Moreover, we show that passive monitoring cannot break time-reversal symmetry and that the transport generally loses its ballistic nature existing for weak measurements.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-02-14T11:44:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "strong monitoring", "quantum chains", "quantum zeno effect inhibits transport", "long time scales", "quantum 1d systems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
