Abstract: We explore a possibility of measuring deviation from the exponential decay law in pure quantum systems. The power law behavior at late times of decay time profile is predicted in quantum mechanics, and has been experimentally attempted to detect, but with failures except a claim in an open system. It is found that electron tunneling from resonance state confined in man-made atoms, quantum dots, has a good chance of detecting the deviation and testing theoretical predictions. How initial unstable state is prepared influences greatly the time profile of decay law, and this can be used to set the onset time of the power law at earlier times. Comparison with similar process of nuclear alpha decay to discover the deviation is discussed, to explain why there exists a difficulty in this case.

Real-time dynamics of false vacuum decay [49.1574468325115]
We investigate false vacuum decay of a relativistic scalar field in the metastable minimum of an asymmetric double-well potential. We employ the non-perturbative framework of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) quantum effective action at next-to-leading order in a large-N expansion.

We propose new observables that can be used for experimental investigations of the post-exponential decay regime. The properties of non-exponential decay are generic, i.e., they apply to other many-body open quantum systems.

Coherent Qubit Measurement in Cavity-Transmon Quantum Systems [0.0]
A measurement of the time between quantum jumps implies the capability to measure the next jump. The theory developed in 1987 for atomic fluorescence is here extended to transitions in transmon qubits. We find that next photon statistics is highly non exponential and when implemented will enable faster readout.

Multichannel decay law [0.0]
It is well known, both theoretically and experimentally, that the survival probability for an unstable quantum state, formed at $t=0,$ is not a simple exponential function. In this work, the general expression for the probability that an unstable state decays into a certain $i$-th channel between the initial time $t=0$ and an arbitrary $t>0$ is provided. Quite remarkably, these deviations may last relatively long, thus making them potentially interesting in applications.

The Time-Evolution of States in Quantum Mechanics [77.34726150561087]
It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events. A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.

Quantum Zeno effect appears in stages [64.41511459132334]
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.
