The Berry curvature is essential in Born$-$Oppenheimer molecular dynamics, describing the screening of the nuclei by the electrons in a magnetic field. Parts of the Berry curvature can be understood as the external magnetic field multiplied…

In quantum mechanics it is often required to describe in a semiclassical approximation the motion of particles moving within a given energy band. Such a representation leads to the appearance of an analogues of fictitious forces in the…
Topological wave-packet dynamics provide a powerful framework for studying quantum transport in topological materials. However, extending this approach to non-Hermitian quantum systems presents several important challenges, primarily due to…
We consider chiral, generally nonlinear density waves in one dimension, modelling the bosonized edge modes of a two-dimensional fermionic topological insulator. Using the coincidence between bosonization and Lie-Poisson dynamics on an…
The position operator (defined within Schroedinger representation as usual) becomes meaningless when the usual Born-von Karman periodic boundary conditions are adopted: this fact is at the root of the polarization problem. I show how to…
Motivated by a recent proposal on the possibility of observing a monopole in the band structure, and by an increasing interest on the role of Berry phase in spintronics, we studied the adiabatic motion of a wave packet of Bloch functions,…
The recent discovery of inconsistency (MS inconsistency) in the adiabatic approximation is discussed. In particular, the so-called, inconsistency in Berry phase is analyzed. On the contrary to some authors, we found that the MS…
The dipole moment of any finite and neutral system, having a square-integrable wavefunction, is a well defined quantity. The same quantity is ill-defined for an extended system, whose wavefunction invariably obeys periodic (Born-von Karman)…
We study the adiabatic evolution of a two-level model in the presence of an external classical electric field. The coupling between the quantum model and the classical field is taken in the electric dipole approximation. In this regime, we…
We relax the usual diagonal constraint on the matrix representation of the eigenvalue wave equation by allowing it to be tridiagonal. This results in a larger solution space that incorporates an exact analytic solution for the non-central…
We present a unified view of the Berry phase of a quantum system and its entanglement with surroundings. The former reflects the nonseparability between a system and a classical environment as the latter for a quantum environment, and the…
