Noncyclic Geometric Phase and Its Non-Abelian Generalization
نویسنده
چکیده
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 noncyclic geometric phase for a spin 1 magnetic (or electric) quadrupole interacting with a precessing magnetic (electric) field. PACS numbers: 03.65.Bz

Unification of the family of Garrison-Wright's phases
Inspired by Garrison and Wight's seminal work on complex-valued geometric phases, we generalize the concept of Pancharatnam's "in-phase" in interferometry and further develop a theoretical framework for unification of the abelian geometric phases for a biorthogonal quantum system modeled by a parameterized or time-dependent nonhermitian hamiltonian with a finite and nondegenerate instantaneous ...
متن کاملAbelian and non-Abelian geometric phases in adiabatic open quantum systems
We introduce a self-consistent framework for the analysis of both Abelian and non-Abelian geometric phases associated with open quantum systems, undergoing cyclic adiabatic evolution. We derive a general expression for geometric phases, based on an adiabatic approximation developed within an inherently open-systems approach. This expression provides a natural generalization of the analogous one...
متن کاملExtending 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 کاملExistence Results of best Proximity Pairs for a Certain Class of Noncyclic Mappings in Nonreflexive Banach Spaces Polynomials
Introduction Let be a nonempty subset of a normed linear space . A self-mapping is said to be nonexpansive provided that for all . In 1965, Browder showed that every nonexpansive self-mapping defined on a nonempty, bounded, closed and convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space , has a fixed point. In the same year, Kirk generalized this existence result by using a geometric notion of ...
متن کاملStructure computation and discrete logarithms in finite abelian p-groups
We present a generic algorithm for computing discrete logarithms in a finite abelian p-group H, improving the Pohlig–Hellman algorithm and its generalization to noncyclic groups by Teske. We then give a direct method to compute a basis for H without using a relation matrix. The problem of computing a basis for some or all of the Sylow p-subgroups of an arbitrary finite abelian group G is addres...
