Abstract
Theory of continuous measurements developed in the preceding chapters is applied in the present chapter to a simple but realistic example of a fuzzy continuous measurement of energy in a two-level system. How such a measurement may be realized will be shown in Chapter 8. In the present chapter we apply the phenomenological restricted-path-integral approach to explore some specific features of this measurement. An advantage of this measurement which will be demonstrated is that it allows one to monitor a quantum transition between the levels.
