We present a numerical study of measurement-induced suppression of coherent tunneling in a two-level quantum system subject to re peated projective monitoring. The dynamics are simulated using a stochastic quantum-trajectory (Monte-Carlo) unraveling which repro duces the dephasing dynamics of a continuously monitored system. We introduce an effective measurement rate γ ≈ pmeas/dt and demon strate a monotonic reduction of the escaped population as a function of γ/∆, where ∆ is the coherent tunneling amplitude. For a fixed evolution time T = π/2, we observe a clear transition to the quantum Zeno regime for γ ≫ ∆. A log–log analysis of the large-γ data re veals an asymptotic scaling close to Pesc ∝ γ−1, in agreement with the strong-measurement limit of the corresponding Lindblad master equation. Our results provide a compact and programmable numerical platform for investigating measurement-controlled tunneling dynamics and Zeno-based control using gate-level quantum simulation frame works.
