Conditioned quantum motion of an atom in a continuously monitored 1D lattice

We consider a quantum particle on a one dimensional lattice subject to weak local measurements and study its stochastic dynamics conditioned on the measurement outcomes. Depending on the measurement strength our analysis of the quantum trajectories reveals dynamical regimes reach- ing from quasi-coherent wave packet oscillations to a Zeno-type dynamics. We analyse how these dynamical regimes are directly reflected in the spectral properties of the noisy measurement records.
