• Abstract: In order to investigate the role of initial quantum coherence in work probability distribution, it is necessary to explicitly consider a concrete measurement apparatus to record work rather than implicitly appealing to perform an energy measurement. In this paper, we consider a harmonic oscillator with coherent or squeezing state as measurement apparatus, and propose a unified framework of quantum work statistics for arbitrary initial state. We find that work is proportional to the change of the real part of coherent state parameter, i.e., quantum work can be estimated by the coherent state parameter. The resulting work probability distribution includes the initial quantum coherence, and can be reduced to result of traditional two projective energy measurement scheme (TPM) by squeezing the state of the harmonic oscillator. As an application, we consider a driven two-level system and investigate the effects of driving velocity on work statistics. We find that only when the driving velocity matches the transition frequency of the system can initial quantum coherence play an important role.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
