Phys. Rev. A 66, 012110 (2002) [8 pages]Quantum Zeno tomographyReceived 5 July 2001; revised 7 March 2002; published 30 July 2002 We show that the resolution “per absorbed particle” of standard absorption tomography can be outperformed by a simple interferometric setup, provided that the different levels of “gray” in the sample are not uniformly distributed. The technique hinges upon the quantum Zeno effect and has been tested in numerical simulations. The scheme we propose could be implemented in experiments with uv light, neutrons, or x rays. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
