Quantum Particle-Trajectories and Geometric Phase
نویسنده
چکیده
“Particle”-trajectories are defined as integrable dxμdp μ = 0 paths in projective space. Quantum states evoluting on such trajectories, open or closed, do not delocalise in (x, p) projection, the phase associated to the trajectories being related to the previously known geometric (Berry) phase and to the Classical Mechanics action. High Energy Physics properties of states evoluting on “particle”-trajectories are discussed.

On geometric phases for quantum trajectories
A sequence of completely positive maps can be decomposed into quantum trajectories. The geometric phase or holonomy of such a trajectory is delineated. For nonpure initial states, it is shown that well-defined holonomies can be assigned by using Uhlmann’s concept of parallel transport along the individual trajectories. We put forward an experimental realization of the geometric phase for a quan...
متن کاملGeometric diffusion of quantum trajectories
A quantum object can acquire a geometric phase (such as Berry phases and Aharonov-Bohm phases) when evolving along a path in a parameter space with non-trivial gauge structures. Inherent to quantum evolutions of wavepackets, quantum diffusion occurs along quantum trajectories. Here we show that quantum diffusion can also be geometric as characterized by the imaginary part of a geometric phase. ...
متن کاملThe quantum mechanical geometric phase of a particle in a resonant vibrating cavity
We study the general-setting quantum geometric phase acquired by a particle in a vibrating cavity. Solving the two-level theory with the rotating-wave approximation and the SU(2) method, we obtain analytic formulae that give excellent descriptions of the geometric phase, energy, and wavefunction of the resonating system. In particular, we observe a sudden π-jump in the geometric phase when the ...
متن کاملParticle propagators on discrete spacetime
A quantum mechanical description of particle propagation on the discrete spacetime of a causal set is presented. The model involves a discrete path integral in which trajectories within the causal set are summed over to obtain a particle propagator. The sum-over-trajectories is achieved by a matrix geometric series. For causal sets generated by sprinkling points into 1+1 and 3+1 dimensional Min...

In this paper, with respect to the advantages of geometric phase in quantum computation, we calculate the geometric phase of the optomechanical systems. This research can be considered as an important step toward using the optomechanical systems in quantum computation with utilizing its geometric phase.
