This  EJS simulator implements  the  Quantum Zeno Experiment with a series of   Ideal Polarization Rotors and Polarizers, as described by Paul G. Kwiat, (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), in his website
Interaction Free Measurements, Step Two: The Quantum Zeno Effect, and in  Quantum Seeing in the Dark, Scientific American, November 1966 .

The simulator is based on some of the basic fundamental  ideas of  Quantum Mechanics:

   1. The Wave-Particle nature of the  Photon

   2. The Probabilistic interpretation of  Quantum Mechanics

   3. The superposition of Quantum States

   4. The Projection Postulate, also called Wave Function Collapse Postulate

in a Gedankem Experiment showing how the normal Time Evolution of a Quantum System can be frozen, in such a way that reminds the Ancient Greek Zeno paradox of the -lack of- movement.
