  Studying out-of-equilibrium physics in quantum systems under quantum quench
is of vast experimental and theoretical interests. Using periodic quantum
quenches, we present an experimentally accessible scheme to simulate the
quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects in an open quantum system of a single
superconducting qubit interacting with an array of transmission line
resonators. The scheme is based on the following two observations: Firstly,
compared with conventional systems, the short-time non-exponential decay in our
superconducting circuit system is readily observed; and secondly, a quench-off
process mimics an ideal projective measurement when its time duration is
sufficiently long. Our results show the active role of quantum quench in
quantum simulation and control.
