• Abstract: Temporal interference patterns can be detected with stroboscopic monitoring that treats the back action of measurements and the unitary dynamics. Previous work established that the mean detected recurrence time is integer-quantized and given by a topological invariant, a winding number $w$. When measurement periods are at resonance with the system's timescales, the winding number can abruptly change. We focus on a generic quantum system and the transition $w\to w-2$, signified by the creation of two dark states in Hilbert space, whose corresponding modes are responsible for the interference pattern. Close to the transition an extremely slow decay of the amplitude of first detection is found, superimposed by oscillations, in contrast to the monotonically exponential decay close to the case $w\to w-1$. We show how these oscillations are obtained from the symmetry of the system and find the conditions for optimal observations of the phenomenon.

  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.

We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
