Optical measurement of electron spins in quantum dots: quantum Zeno effects.

Published in: Nanoscale (2022)
We describe theoretically the effects of the quantum back action under the 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 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 pump-probe experiments.
