This is similar to the behavior of an atom in a mistuned cavity, and under the conditions of the quantum Zeno effect. No external perturbing field is applied to measure the survival probability of the unstable state.Quantum PhysicsSlowing the Decay of an Excited Atom by the Presence of a Detectortext
