Extending the quantal adiabatic theorem: Geometry of noncyclic motion
We show that a noncyclic phase of geometric origin has to be included in the approximate adiabatic wave function. The adiabatic noncyclic geometric phase for systems exhibiting a conical intersection as well as for an AharonovBohm situation is worked out in detail. A spin−12 experiment to measure the adiabatic noncyclic geometric phase is discussed. We also analyze some misconceptions in the li...
متن کاملContribution of adiabatic phases to noncyclic evolution
We show that the difference of adiabatic phases, that are basis-dependent, in noncyclic evolution of nondegenerate quantum systems have to be taken into account to give the correct interference result in the calculation of physical quantities in states that are a superposition of instantaneous eigenstates of energy. To verify the contribution of those adiabatic phases in the interference phenom...
متن کاملClassical adiabatic angles and quantal adiabatic phase
A semiclassical connection IS established between quantal and classical properties of a system whose Hamiltonian is slowly cycled by varying its parameters round a circuit. The quantal property is a geometrical phase shift y,, associated with an eigenstate with quantum numbers n = {n,}: the classical property is a shift A@,(I) in the Ith angle variable for motion round a phase-space torus with ...
متن کاملQuantal phase factors accompanying adiabatic changes
A quantal system in an eigenstate, slowly transported round a circuit C by varying parameters R in its Hamiltonian H(R), will acquire a geo metrical phase factor exp{iy(C)} in addition to the familiar dynamical phase factor. An explicit general formula for y(C) is derived in terms of the spectrum and eigenstates of H(R) over a surface spanning C. I f C lies near a degeneracy of //, y(C) takes ...
متن کاملConsistency of the Adiabatic Theorem
The adiabatic theorem provides the basis for the adiabatic model of quantum computation. Recently the conditions required for the adiabatic theorem to hold have become a subject of some controversy. Here we show that the reported violations of the adiabatic theorem all arise from resonant transitions between energy levels. In the absence of fast driven oscillations the traditional adiabatic the...
