We investigate whether and how the quantum Zeno effect, i.e., the inhibition of quantum evolution by frequent
measurements, can be employed to isolate a quantum dot from its surrounding electron reservoir. In contrast to
the often studied case of tunneling between discrete levels, we consider the tunneling of an electron from a
continuum reservoir to a discrete level in the dot. Realizing the quantum Zeno effect in this scenario can be
much harder because the measurements should be repeated before the wave packet of the hole left behind in the
reservoir moves away from the vicinity of the dot. Thus the required repetition rate could be lowered by having a
flat band (with a slow group velocity) in resonance with the dot or a sufficiently small Fermi velocity or a strong
external magnetic field. We also consider the anti-Zeno effect, i.e., how measurements can accelerate or enable
quantum evolution.
