Sudarshan and Mishra hypothesized that performing this frequently will cause the "freezing" of the evolution of a system via the quantum zeno effect. Doing this splits the universe into the number of possible outcomes for this process according to the many worlds theory.

Sudarshan and Mishra hypothesized that performing this frequently will cause the "freezing" of the evolution of a system via the quantum zeno effect. Doing this splits the universe into the number of possible outcomes for this process according to the many worlds theory. According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, this process cannot be simultaneously performed with arbitrary precision for commuting variables. For 10 points, identify this process which would cause the collapse of a system into a particular energy eigenstate, as exemplified by opening the box with Schrodinger's cat in it.
