متن کاملphases to noncyclic evolution
We show that the difference of adiabatic phases, that are basis-dependent, in noncyclic evolution of non-degenerate 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 pheno...
متن کاملSpatial Non-Cyclic Geometric Phase in Neutron Interferometry
We present a split-beam neutron interferometric experiment to test the non-cyclic geometric phase tied to the spatial evolution of the system: the subjacent two-dimensional Hilbert space is spanned by the two possible paths in the interferometer and the evolution of the state is controlled by phase shifters and absorbers. A related experiment was reported previously by some of the authors to ve...
متن کاملNoncyclic Geometric Phase and Its Non-Abelian Generalization
We use the theory of dynamical invariants to yield a simple derivation of noncyclic analogues of the Abelian and non-Abelian geometric phases. This derivation relies only on the principle of gauge invariance and elucidates the existing definitions of the Abelian noncyclic geometric phase. We also discuss the adiabatic limit of the noncyclic geometric phase and compute the adiabatic non-Abelian ...
متن کاملGeometric phase in coupled neutron interference loops.
A geometric phase factor is derived for a split-beam experiment as an example of cyclic evolutions. Poincaré sphere descriptions for the split-beam experiment show its geometric property. We observe this geometric phase with a two-loop neutron interferometer, where a reference beam can be added to the beam from one interference loop. The combination of phase shifters and partial absorbers permi...
