A geometric phase is found for a general quantum state that undergoes adiabatic evolution. For the case of eigenstates, it reduces to the original Berry's phase. Such a phase is applicable in both linear and nonlinear quantum systems.…

We introduce the non-adiabatic, or Aharonov-Anandan, geometric phase as a tool for quantum computation and show how it could be implemented with superconducting charge qubits. While it may circumvent many of the drawbacks related to the…
Berry's geometric phase naturally appears when a quantum system is driven by an external field whose parameters are slowly and cyclically changed. A variation in the coupling between the system and the external field can also give rise to a…
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…

We investigate the geometric phase or Berry phase (BP) acquired by a spin-half which is both subject to a slowly varying magnetic field and weakly-coupled to a dissipative environment (either quantum or classical). We study how this phase…
Based on the adiabatic geometric phase concerning with density matrix[1] , we extend it to the sub-geometric phase in the non-adiabatic case. It is found that whatever the real part or imaginary part of the sub-geometric phase can play an…
