• Abstract: We describe the effects of the quantum back action under continuous optical measurement of electron spins in quantum dots. We consider the system excitation by elliptically polarized light close to the trion resonance, which allows for the simultaneous spin orientation and measurement. We microscopically demonstrate that the nuclei-induced spin relaxation can be both suppressed and accelerated by the continuous spin measurement due to the quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects, respectively. Our theoretical predictions can be directly compared with the future experimental results and straightforwardly generalized for the pump-probe experiments.

  We show that the Born's rule of quantum probability can emerge directly from microscopic quantum dynamics. Surprisingly, in the infinite long time measurement limit, the energy conservation already dictates the emergence of the Born's rule of quantum probability.

  We show that a quantum measurement back action can be efficiently exploited to tune the spin relaxation of localized electrons. In optical pump-probe experiments, powerful probe pulses suppress the spin relaxation of electrons on Si donors in an InGaAs epilayer due to the quantum Zeno effect. An increase of the probe power leads to a speed up of the spin relaxation for electrons in InGaAs quantum dots due to the quantum anti-Zeno effect.

The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
