At the heart of quantum mechanics lies the fact that a measurement causes back-action on the system itself.
A prominent example is the quantum Zeno effect. Observing a system
continuously with a large measurement strength freezes the system's
dynamics. In this talk I will briefly review the concept of continuous
measurements and the quantum Zeno effect. I present how to implement the
quantum Zeno effect in the transverse-field Ising chain and discuss
possible implementations in circuit quantum electrodynamics.
