Geometric phases play an enormous role in optics and are generally associated with the evolution of light's polarization state on the Poincar\'{e} sphere, or its spin on the sphere of spin directions. Here we put forward a new kind of…
In a neutron polarimetry experiment the mixed state relative phases between spin eigenstates are determined from the maxima and minima of measured intensity oscillations. We consider evolutions leading to purely geometric, purely dynamical…
Phase transitions ruled by nucleation and growth can occur by nonrandom arrangement of nuclei. This is verified, for instance, in thin film growth at solid surfaces by vapor condensation or by electrodeposition where, around each nucleus, a…

The ability of an environment to assist in one-photon phase control relies upon entanglement between the system and bath and on the breaking of the time reversal symmetry. Here, one photon phase control is examined analytically and…
A relation between geometric phases and criticality of spin chains is established. As a result, we show how geometric phases can be exploited as a tool to detect regions of criticality without having to undergo a quantum phase transition.…

In two nearby atoms, the dipole-dipole interaction can couple transitions with orthogonal dipole moments. This orthogonal coupling accounts for a number of interesting effects, but strongly depends on the geometry of the setup. Here, we…

Two ring polymers close to each other in space may be either in a segregated phase if there is a strong repulsion between monomers in the polymers, or intermingle in a mixed phase if there is a strong attractive force between the monomers.…
We investigate the dynamics of spheroids immersed in the journal bearing flow subject to a contractible non-reciprocal loop. We show how geometric phases appear not only in the position, but also in the orientation of such particles. We…
