Berry phases have long been known to significantly alter the properties of periodic systems, resulting in anomalous terms in the semiclassical equations of motion describing wave-packet dynamics. In non-Hermitian systems, generalizations of…

The phenomenon of charge pumping and the modern theory of electric polarization are reconsidered by analytically taking into account emergent non-Hermitian contributions. These are accounted for through the use of an extended definition of…
In contrast to the classical concept of a Carnot engine that alternates contact between heat baths of different temperatures, naturally occurring processes usually harvest energy from anisotropy, being exposed simultaneously to chemical and…
Nonadiabatic coupling between electrons and molecular motion at metal surfaces leads to energy dissipation and dynamical steering effects during chemical surface dynamics. We present a theoretical approach to the scattering of molecules…
We make use of a superconducting qubit to study the effects of noise on adiabatic geometric phases. The state of the system, an effective spin one-half particle, is adiabatically guided along a closed path in parameter space and thereby…
We provide explicit formulae for the noncyclic geometric phases or Pancharatnam phases of neutrino oscillations. Since Pancharatnam phase is a generalization of the Berry phase, our results generalize the previous findings for Berry phase…
We review recent theoretical calculations of charge transfer through mesoscopic devices in response to slowly-oscillating, spatially-confined, potentials. The discussion is restricted to non-interacting electrons, and emphasizes the role of…
We calculate the oscillations of the DC conductance across a mesoscopic ring, simultaneously tuned by applied magnetic and electric fields orthogonal to the ring. The oscillations depend on the Aharonov-Bohm flux and of the spin-orbit…

Exceptional points (EPs) have attracted extensive research interest due to their intriguing properties. One of the hallmarks of EP physics is that dynamically encircling the EPs induces chiral mode switching, arising from the breakdown of…
Geometric phases in quantum mechanics play an extraordinary role in broadening our understanding of fundamental significance of geometry in nature. One of the best known examples is the Berry phase (M.V. Berry (1984), Proc. Royal. Soc.…
We show that geometric phases may be generated in a quantum system subject to noise by adiabatic manipulations of the fluctuating fields, e.g., by variation of the system-environment coupling. For a two-state quantum system we express this…
The force exerted by the electrons on the nuclei of a current-carrying molecular junction can be manipulated to engineer nanoscale mechanical systems. In the adiabatic regime a peculiarity of these forces is negative friction, responsible…
A periodic perturbation such as a laser field cannot induce transitions between two decoupled states for which the transition matrix element vanishes. We show, however, that if in addition some system parameters are varied adiabatically,…
In this work we study the geometrical and topological properties of non-equilibrium quantum systems driven by ac fields. We consider two tunnel coupled spin qubits driven by either spatially homogeneous or inhomogeneous ac fields. Our…
We consider the behavior of an interacting many particle system under slow external driving -- a many body generalization of the Landau-Zener paradigm. We find that a conspiracy of interactions and driving leads to physics profoundly…
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…
Fluctuation measurements of event-wise mean transverse momentum $\langle p_t \rangle$ for p-p and Pb-Pb collisions at the large hadron collider (LHC) have been reported recently. In that study it was concluded that the strength of…
