Off-diagonal geometric phases.

چکیده
We investigate the adiabatic evolution of a set of nondegenerate eigenstates of a parametrized Hamiltonian. Their relative phase change can be related to geometric measurable quantities that extend the familiar concept of Berry phase to the evolution of more than one state. We present several physical systems where these concepts can be applied, including an experiment on microwave cavities for which off-diagonal phases can be determined from published data.

Off-diagonal Mixed State Phases in Unitary Evolution A
Off-diagonal mixed state phases based upon a concept of orthogonality adapted to unitary evolution and a proper normalisation condition are introduced. Some particular instances are analysed and parallel transport leading to the off-diagonal mixed state geometric phase is delineated. A complete experimental realisation of the off-diagonal mixed state geometric phases in the qubit case using pol...

The concept of off-diagonal geometric phases for mixed quantal states in unitary evolution is developed. We show that these phases arise from three basic ideas: (1) fulfillment of quantum parallel transport of a complete basis, (2) a concept of mixed state orthogonality adapted to unitary evolution, and (3) a normalization condition. We provide a method for computing the off-diagonal mixed stat...
متن کاملEffects of Entanglement on Off-diagonal Geometric Phases
The effect of entanglement on off-diagonal geometric phases is investigated in the paper. Two spin-1/2 particles in magnetic fields along the y direction are taken as an example. Three parameters (the purity of state r, the mixing angle θ and the relative phase β) are chosen to characterize the initial states. The nodal points at which the usual geometric phases disappear are calculated and ill...
متن کاملTopological properties of Berry’s phase
By using a second quantized formulation of level crossing, which does not assume adiabatic approximation, a convenient formula for geometric terms including offdiagonal terms is derived. The analysis of geometric phases is reduced to a simple diagonalization of the Hamiltonian in the present formulation. If one diagonalizes the geometric terms in the infinitesimal neighborhood of level crossing...

Uhlmann’s concept of quantum holonomy for paths of density operators is generalised to the off-diagonal case. This generalisation may provide information about the subjacent geometry of the space of density operators when the Uhlmann holonomy is undefined. Comparison with previous definitions of off-diagonal geometric phases for pure and mixed states is carried out. PACS numbers: 03.65.Vf ‡ Ele...
