The dynamical quantum Zeno effect in quantum decision theory

Abstract

In this paper it is proposed the dynamical quantum Zeno Effect in quantum decision theory. The measurement postulate is not an essential ingredient for the explanation of the quantum Zeno effect, a dynamical account is given in quantum physics. In this account, the entanglement between the system of interest and the apparatus inhibit the quantum transition. The collapse postulate is not considered. It is show in this paper that the belief-action entanglement model provides a mathematical framework for the dynamical quantum Zeno effect in quantum decision theory. It is also shown that, in this context the dynamical account implies that opinion change process can be inhibited by frequent evaluations of intentions to act.
