Abstract

Decay acceleration by frequent measurements (interruptions of the coupling), known as the anti-Zeno effect is argued to be much more ubiquitous than its inhibition in one- or two-level systems coupled to reservoirs (continua). In multilevel systems, frequent measurements cause accelerated decay by destroying the multilevel interference, which tends to inhibit decay in the absence of measurements.
