Multi-product Zeno effect achieving higher order convergence rates

The quantum Zeno effect is a fundamental mechanism for implementing the effective dynamics of projected Hamiltonian and Lindbladian systems. It approximates the target projected evolution by interleaving Hamiltonian or Lindblad dynamics with quantum operations associated with the desired subspace. In contrast to the related Trotter product formula, the best-known convergence rate of the quantum Zeno effect is typically limited to order $1/n$. In this work, we improve this convergence rate by employing a multi-product formula, thereby achieving arbitrarily high-order convergence of the form $1/n^{K+1}$. This yields an improved approximation scheme for Zeno-like expectation values via an efficient post-processing method. The approach combines a modified Chernoff lemma, an adapted Dunford-Segal approximation, holomorphic functional calculus, and Chebyshev interpolation. We illustrate the method with the bosonic cat code and also consider the broader class of systems governed by the Bang-Bang decoupling method.
