150/-! ## Applications -/
151
152/-- Applications of the Zeno effect:
153 1. Quantum state protection
154 2. Decoherence-free subspaces (with continuous measurement)
155 3. Quantum computing error correction
156 4. Fundamental tests of quantum mechanics -/

173/-! ## Connection to Watched Pot Paradox -/
174
175/-- The name comes from Zeno's paradox (Achilles and tortoise).
176 "A watched pot never boils" is the popular version.

178 But note: the pot does eventually boil in the real world!
