    "abstract": "The experiment of Etano et al which demonstrated the quantum Zeno effect\n(QZE) in an optical experiment was explained by Frerichs and Schenzle without\ninvoking the wave function collapse. In this report it is proposed that the\ncollapse does occur, and it can be explained by the `environment induced\ndecoherence\u0027 theory. The environment here consists of the completely quantized\nfield vacuum modes. The spontaneous emission life time of the atom sets a\nfundamental limit on the requirement of `continuous measurements\u0027 for QZE. This\nlimit turns out to be related to the time-energy uncertainty relation discussed\nby Ghirardi et al.",
