Adiabatic transformation can be approximated as alternating unitary operators of a Hamiltonian and its parameter derivative as proposed in a gate-based approach to counterdiabatic driving (van Vreumingen, arXiv:2406.08064). In this paper,…
The second quantized approach to geometric phases is reviewed. The second quantization generally induces a hidden local (time-dependent) gauge symmetry. This gauge symmetry defines the parallel transport and holonomy, and thus it controls…

Newtonian adiabatics is the consistent truncation of the adiabatic approximation to second order in small velocities. To be complete it must unify two hitherto disjoint intellectual streams in the study of adiabatic motion. The newer stream…
An explicit proof is developed to reinforce the accuracy of the quantum adiabatic theorem in its original form without any inconsistency and/or violation. Based on this proof, we discuss physical implications that give rise to the violation…
We investigate microscopically the tunneling dynamics in spontaneous fission of atomic nuclei. To this end, we employ a schematic solvable model with a pairing-plus-quadrupole interaction. The spontaneous decay of a system is simulated by…

Diabatization of the molecular Hamiltonian is a standard approach to removing the singularities of nonadiabatic couplings at conical intersections of adiabatic potential energy surfaces. In general, it is impossible to eliminate the…
