In supersymmetric quantum mechanics, the non-Abelian Berry phase is known to obey certain differential equations. Here we study N=(0,4) systems and show that the non-Abelian Berry connection over R^{4n} satisfies a generalization of the…

Holonomic quantum computation (HQC) is materialized here with quantum optics components. Holonomies are the generalization of the Berry phases to unitary matrices with dimensionality the same as the degree of degeneracy of the system. In a…
We present both the gauge theoretic description and the numerical calculations of the Berry phases with the real eigenstates, involving one with a many-body system as a background and the other with no such background. We demonstrate that…
In this work, we show that Berry phase estimation admits a natural and universal adiabatic error-cancellation mechanism, making it a promising candidate for practical quantum computing before full fault tolerance. Combining finite-runtime…
Topological phases emerge as the parameters of a quantum system vary with time. Under the adiabatic approximation, the time dependence can be eliminated, allowing the Berry topological phase to be obtained from a closed trajectory in…
A convenient framework is developed to generalize Berry's investigation of the adiabatic geometrical phase for a classical relativistic charged scalar field in a curved background spacetime which is minimally coupled to electromagnetism and…
In a quantum system with a smoothly and slowly varying Hamiltonian, which approaches a constant operator at times $t\to \pm \infty$, the transition probabilities between adiabatic states are exponentially small. They are characterized by an…
We revisit the origin of the vacuum angle $\theta$ in QCD using the adiabatic approximation combined with Fujikawa's method. By implementing a local chiral transformation and selecting a constant parameter $\alpha(x) = \theta$, we show that…
The experimental observation of effects due to Berry's phase in quantum systems is certainly one of the most impressive demonstrations of the correctness of the superposition principle in quantum mechanics. Since Berry's original paper in…
The quantum geometric tensor has established itself as a general framework for the analysis and detection of equilibrium phase transitions in isolated quantum systems. We propose a novel generalization of the quantum geometric tensor, which…
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…
Berry phases strongly affect the properties of crystalline materials, giving rise to modifications of the semiclassical equations of motion that govern wave-packet dynamics. In non-Hermitian systems, generalizations of the Berry connection…
The theory of the shift current is thus far geometrical without being topological. This means that the real-space displacement/shift of a photoexcited quasiparticle depends on the geometric Berry phase, but the Berry phase is not quantized…
We consider a two-level system coupled to an environment that evolves non-adiabatically. We present a non-perturbative method for determining the persistence amplitude whose phase contains all the corrections to Berry's phase produced by…
Holonomic quantum computation is a quantum computation strategy that promises some built-in noise-resilience features. Here, we propose a scheme for nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation with nitrogen-vacancy center electron spins,…
We establish adiabatic theorems with and without spectral gap condition for general -- typically dissipative -- linear operators $A(t): D(A(t)) \subset X \to X$ with time-independent domains $D(A(t)) = D$ in some Banach space $X$. Compared…
We demonstrate that the existence of a Hermitian time-dependent intertwining operator that maps the non-Hermitian time-dependent energy operator to its Hermitian conjugate and its right to its left eigenstates guarantees the reality of the…
We study linear problems of mathematical physics in which the adiabatic approximation is used in the wide sense. Using the idea that all these problems can be treated as problems with operator-valued symbol, we propose a general regular…
Classical KAM theory guarantees the existence of a positive measure set of invariant tori for sufficiently smooth non-degenerate near-integrable systems. When seen as a function of the frequency this invariant collection of tori is called…
