We study the energy level structure of two-dimensional charged particles in inhomogeneous magnetic fields. In particular, for magnetic anti-dots the magnetic field is zero inside the dot and constant outside. Such a device can be fabricated…
One of the fundamental results of semiclassical theory is the existence of trace formulae showing how spectra of quantum mechanical systems emerge from massive interference among amplitudes related with time-periodic structures of the…
We solve the stationary Schr\"odinger equation for a particle confined to a 3D spherical wedge -- the region $\{(r,\theta,\phi): 0 \leq r \leq R,\, 0 \leq \theta \leq \pi,\, 0 \leq \phi \leq \Phi\}$ with Dirichlet BCs on all surfaces. This…
A quantized fermion can be represented by a scalar particle encircling a magnetic flux line. It has the spinor structure which can be constructed from quantum gates and qubits. We have studied here the role of Berry phase in removing…
We analytically calculate the electronic friction tensor for a molecule near a metal surface in the case that the electronic Hamiltonian is complex-valued, e.g. the case that there is spin-orbit coupling and/or an external magnetic field.…
Higher-order topological insulators are a new class of topological phases of matter, originally conceived for electrons in solids. It has been suggested that $\mathbb{Z}_N$ Berry phase (Berry phase quantized into $2\pi/N$) is a useful tool…
We uncover new topology-related features of the $\pi$-flux saddle-point solution of the $D$=2+1 Heisenberg antiferromagnet. We note that symmetries of the spinons sustain a built-in competition between antiferromagnetic (AF) and…
We consider in sufficient detail how the Berry phase arises in a rotating electric field in a model system with spin one. The goal is to help the student who first encountered this interesting problem, which is fraught with some subtleties…
The phase of a quantum state may not return to its original value after the system's parameters cycle around a closed path; instead, the wavefunction may acquire a measurable phase difference called the Berry phase. Berry phases typically…
We consider the quantum mechanical notion of the geometrical (Berry) phase in SU(2) gauge theory, both in the continuum and on the lattice. It is shown that in the coherent state basis eigenvalues of the Wilson loop operator naturally…
The Berry connection plays a central role in our description of the geometric phase and topological phenomena. In condensed matter, it describes the parallel transport of Bloch states and acts as an effective "electromagnetic" vector…
When continuous parameters in a QFT are varied adiabatically, quantum states typically undergo mixing---a phenomenon characterized by the Berry phase. We initiate a systematic analysis of the Berry phase in QFT using standard quantum…
Berry's phase often appears in quantum two-level systems with a degeneracy. An example of such a system is a spin-1/2 particle in a magnetic field. As the magnetic field is slowly evolved through a closed path, the particle has been shown…
The velocity field composed of the Berry connection from many-body wave functions and electromagnetic vector potential explains the energy-momentum balance during the reversible superconducting-normal phase transition in the presence of an…
We study a two-dimensional charged particle interacting with a magnetic field, in general non-homogeneous, perpendicular to the plane, a confining potential, and a point interaction. If the latter moves adiabatically along a loop the state…
We have shown that the study of topological aspects of the underlying geometry in a ferromagnetic spin system gives rise to an intrinsic Berry phase. This real space Berry phase arises due to the spin rotations of conducting electrons which…
Experimentally feasible methods to determine the Berry phase, a fundamental quantity characterizing a quantum material, are often needed in applications. We develop an approach to detecting the Berry phase by using a class of…
The physics of a quantum dot with electron-electron interactions is well captured by the so called "Universal Hamiltonian" if the dimensionless conductance of the dot is much higher than unity. Within this scheme interactions are…
We explore the geometric phase in N=(2,2) supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The Witten index ensures the existence of degenerate ground states, resulting in a non-Abelian Berry connection. We exhibit a non-renormalization theorem which…
We introduce the perturbative aspects of noncommutative quantum mechanics. Then we study the Berry's phase in the framework of noncommutative quantum mechanics. The results show deviations from the usual quantum mechanics which depend on…
