Abstract

We find that when the environment of a two-level system has an energy spectrum with a lower bound but without an upper one, the survival probability of the spontaneous emission of the two-level system scales with the spatial dimension D and the exponent n of the energy dispersion |vec{k}|n of the environment in the form 1-αt2-D/n in the short-time and in the form αtD/n-2 in the long-time regime. The former fractional scaling of the survival probability leads to a quantum Zeno effect with a different scaling of the Zeno time.
