Limitations to Realize Quantum Zeno Effect in Beam Splitter Array -- a Monte Carlo Wavefunction Analysis
Abstract
Effects of non-ideal optical components in realizing quantum Zeno effect in an all-optical setup are analyzed. Beam splitters are the important components in this experimental configuration. Nonuniform transmission coefficient, photon absorption and thermal noise are considered. Numerical simulation of the experiment is performed using the Monte Carlo wavefunction method. It is argued that there is an optimal number of beam splitters to be used for maximizing the expected output in the experiment.
