Topological Aspects of the Non-adiabatic Berry Phase
نویسنده
چکیده
The topology of the non-adiabatic parameter space bundle is discussed for evolution of exact cyclic state vectors in Berry’s original example of split angular momentum eigenstates. It turns out that the change in topology occurs at a critical frequency. The first Chern number that classifies these bundles is proportional to angular momentum. The non-adiabatic principal bundle over the parameter space is not well-defined at the critical frequency. Center for Relativity Center for Particle Theory

Some Aspects of Classical and Quantum Phases
We study classical and quantum phases in the adiabatic BornOppenheimer context. These include a classical astronomical case, the general dual description of the phases, a new “Paradox” connected to scattering Berry phase and its resolution and various elaboration of topological/geometrical/non-abelian phases.

Finding new phase of matter is a fundamental task in physics. Generally, various phases or states of matter (for instance solid/liquid/gas phases) have different symmetries, the phase transitions among them can be explained by Landau's symmetry breaking theory. The topological phases discovered in recent years show that different phases may have the same symmetry. The different topological phas...

The level crossing problem is neatly formulated by the second quantized formulation, which exhibits a hidden local gauge symmetry. The analysis of geometric phases is reduced to a simple diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. If one diagonalizes the geometric terms in the infinitesimal neighborhood of level crossing, the geometric phases become trivial (and thus no monopole singularity) for arbitr...

The Aharonov–Anandan and Berry phases are determined for the cyclic motions of a non–relativistic charged spinless particle evolving in the superposition of the fields produced by a Penning trap and a rotating magnetic field. Discussion about the selection of the parameter’s space and the relationship between the Berry phase and the symmetry of the binding potential is given. PACS: 03.65 Ca, 03...
