Berry Phase with Environment: Classical versus Quantum
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the concept of the Berry phase in a dissipative system. We show that one can identify a Berry phase in a weakly-dissipative system and find the respective correction to this quantity, induced by the environment. This correction is expressed in terms of the symmetrized noise power and is therefore insensitive to the nature of the noise representing the environment, namely whether it is classical or quantum mechanical. It is only the spectrum of the noise which counts. We analyze a model of a spin-half (qubit) anisotropically coupled to its environment and explicitly show the coincidence between the effect of a quantum environment and a classical one.

Berry phase for a particle in an infinite spherical potential well with moving wall
In this paper we calculate the Berry phase for a wave function of a particle in an infinite spherical potential well with adiabatically varying. In order to do this, we need the solutions of the corresponding Schrödinger equation with a time dependent Hamiltonian. Here, we obtain these solutions for the first time. In addition, we calculate the Berry phase in one dimensional case for an infinit...
متن کاملPhase-Space Approach to Berry Phases
We propose a new formula for the adiabatic Berry phase which is based on phase-space formulation of quantum mechanics. This approach sheds a new light into the correspondence between classical and quantum adiabatic phases — both phases are related with the averaging procedure: Hannay’s angle with averaging over the classical torus and Berry’s phase with averaging over the entire classical phase...
متن کاملDoes Berry Phase Exist for a System Coupled to Its Environment?
Berry phase was originally defined for systems whose states are separated by finite energy gaps. One might naively expect that a system without a gap cannot have a Berry phase. Despite this we ask whether a Berry phase can be observed in a system which has a continuous spectrum because its coupling to the environment has broadened its energy levels. We find that, contrary to the above naive exp...
متن کاملAdiabatic Berry Phase and Hannay Angle for Open Paths
We obtain the adiabatic Berry phase by defining a generalised gauge potential whose line integral gives the phase holonomy for arbitrary evolutions of parameters. Keeping in mind that for classical integrable systems it is hardly clear how to obtain open-path Hannay angle, we establish a connection between the open-path Berry phase and Hannay angle by using the parametrised coherent state appro...

In this study, the effect of four-spin exchanges between the nearest and next nearest neighbor spins of honeycomb lattice on the phase diagram of S=3/2 antiferomagnetic Heisenberg model is considered with two-spin exchanges between the nearest and next nearest neighbor spins. Firstly, the method is investigated with classical phase diagram. In classical phase diagram, in addition to Neel order,...
