Wavepacket localization via repeated measurements

We investigate wavepacket localization in a model system consisting of a gr ound symmetric double-well potential and an excited asymmetric double-well potential. We show that, under specific conditions, the interaction of this system with a sequence of short laser pulses can lead to wavepacket locali zation in one of the ground state wells. This effect is similar to the inhi bition of the coherent evolution in a closed V-type system via repeated mea surements with a sequence of pulses, an example of the so-called quantum Ze no effect.
