Abstract

In this paper we investigate the quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects without using any particular model of the measurement. Making a few assumptions about the measurement process we derive an expression for the jump probability during the measurement. From this expression the equation, obtained by Kofman and Kurizki [Nature (London) 405, 546 (2000)] can be derived as a special case.
