Abstract
The quantum “Zeno” time of the 2P-1S transition of the hydrogen atom is computed and found to be approximately 3.59 × 10−15 s (the lifetime is approximately 1.595 × 10−9 s). The temporal behavior of this system is analyzed in a quantum field theoretical framework and compared to the exponential decay law.File in questo prodotto:
