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…

In Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 66}, 847 (1991), T. B. Kepler and M. L. Kagan derived a geometric phase shift in dissipative limit cycle evolution. This effect was considered as an extension of the geometric phase in classical mechanics. We show…
A magnetically trapped atom experiences an adiabatic geometric (Berry's) phase due to changing field direction. We investigate theoretically such an Aharonov-Bohm-like geometric phase for atoms adiabatically moving inside a storage ring as…
Unitary evolution in PT-symmetric quantum mechanics with a time-dependent metric is found to yield a new class of adiabatic processes. As an explicit example, a Berry-like phase associated with a PT-symmetric two-level system is derived and…

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 revival structure of wave packets is examined for quantum systems having energies that depend on two nondegenerate quantum numbers. For such systems, the evolution of the wave packet is controlled by two classical periods and three…
We describe the geometric (Berry) phases arising when some quantum systems are driven by control classical parameters but also by outer classical stochastic processes (as for example classical noises). The total geometric phase is then…
We propose a spatial analog of the Berry's phase mechanism for the coherent manipulation of states of non-relativistic massive particles moving in a two-dimensional landscape. In our construction the temporal modulation of the system…
In a quantum system initially in the n-th eigenstate, an adiabatic evolution of the Hamiltonian ensures that the system remains in the corresponding instantaneous eigenstate while acquiring a phase factor. This phase has two components: one…
We study the geometric phase factors underlying the classical and the corresponding quantum dynamics of a driven nonlinear oscillator exhibiting chaotic dynamics. For the classical problem, we compute the geometric phase factors associated…
Geometric phases play a crucial role in diverse fields. In chemistry they appear when a reaction path encircles an intersection between adiabatic potential energy surfaces and the molecular wavefunction experiences quantum-mechanical…
Distinct from the dynamical phase, in a cyclic evolution, a system's state may acquire an additional component, a.k.a. geometric phase. The latter is a manifestation of a closed path in state space. Geometric phases underlie various…
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…

Geometric phases are ubiquitous in physics; they act as memories of the transformation of a physical system. In optics, the most prominent examples are the Pancharatnam-Berry phase and the spin-redirection phase. Recent technological…
The method of geometric quantization is applied to a particle moving on an arbitrary Riemannian manifold $Q$ in an external gauge field, that is a connection on a principal $H$-bundle $N$ over $Q$. The phase space of the particle is a…
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…
