Description
A unified theory of two-level atom coupling to vacuum field reservoirs with arbitrary mode-density spectra is used to demonstrate that the quantum Zeno effect on excitation decay of the atom (and, correspondingly, inhibition of spontaneous emission) is observable in open cavities and waveguides, using a sequence of evolution-interrupting pulses on a nanosecond scale. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
