An experimental atomic physicist who coauthored a 1990 demonstration of the quantum Zeno effect. The team confined laser-cooled beryllium ions in a Penning trap and repeatedly probed their state with short light pulses while driving a transition between hyperfine levels. More frequent probing inhibited population transfer, turning the influence of measurement on driven quantum dynamics into a laboratory observable.[ref]
