Abstract
Aim. To describe an experiment on direct experimental observation of the quantum Zeno effect.
Methodology. The study requires a model of a scanning probe microscope-SPM.
Results. The described theoretical estimates of the study give encouraging results of obtaining stable excited states of atoms by direct measurement of their excited states.
Research implication lies in the prospect of obtaining stable excited states of atoms of various elements.
Supporting agencies: The authors are grateful to Professor V. V. Belyaev for general guidance and valuable advice that influenced the writing of this work.
