The Berry phase is a geometric phase acquired during adiabatic evolution over a closed loop in parameter space. It plays an essential role in geometric quantum gates and other phase-based protocols. In non-Hermitian systems, the Berry phase…
The nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation may be achieved using coupled low-capacitance Josephson juctions. We show that the nonadiabtic effects as well as the adiabatic condition are very important for these systems. Moreover, we find…

On-the-fly quantum nonadiabatic dynamics for large systems greatly benefits from the adiabatic representation readily available from the electronic structure programs. However, frequently occurring in this representation conical…
We prove a robust extension of the quantum adiabatic theorem. The theorem applies to systems that have resonances instead of bound states, and to systems for which just an approximation to a bound state is known. To demonstrate the…

It is shown that Berry's phase associated with the adiabatic change of local variables in the Hamiltonian can be used to characterize the multimode Peierls state, which has been proposed as a new type of the ground state of the…
We consider area-preserving deformations of the plane, acting on electronic wavefunctions through "quantomorphisms" that change both the underlying metric and the confining potential. We show that adiabatic sequences of such transformations…

We study quantum adiabatic dynamics, where the slowly moving field is influenced by system's state (feedback). The information for the feedback is gained from non-disturbating measurements done on an ensemble of identical non-interacting…
By stating the adiabatic theorem of quantum mechanics in a clear and rigorous way, we establish a necessary condition and a sufficient condition for its validity, where the latter is obtained employing our recently developed adiabatic…
We formulate an adiabatic theorem adapted to models that present an instantaneous eigenvalue experiencing an infinite number of crossings with the rest of the spectrum. We give an upper bound on the leading correction terms with respect to…
We explore topological transitions in parameter space in order to enable adiabatic passages between regions adiabatically disconnected within a given parameter manifold. To this end, we study the Hamiltonian of two coupled qubits…
