Entanglement Effect on Off-diagonal Geometric Phase

Quantum Physics 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

The effect of entanglement on off-diagonal geometric phases is investigated in the paper. Two spin-1/2 particles in magnetic fields along the yy direction are taken as an example. Three parameters (the purity of state rr, the mixing angle θ\theta and the relative phase β\beta) are chosen to characterize the initial states. The nodal points at which the usual geometric phases disappear are calculated and illustrated as a function of the three parameters.
