The moment of conception of the geometric phase can be pinpointed precisely, but related ideas had been formulated before, in various guises. Not less varied were the ramifications that became clear once the concept was identified formally.

Evolution of Total Angular Momentum and Berry Phase in 3D Structured Light

Vector beams can be structured to change their polarization state and topological charge locally with propagation. We report on the observation of Berry phase factor accompanying these transitions…

Topological insulators: A romance with many dimensions.

Electric charges on the boundaries of certain insulators are programmed by topology to keep moving forward when they encounter an obstacle, rather than scattering backwards and increasing the…

Geometric phase from Aharonov–Bohm to Pancharatnam–Berry and beyond

Whenever a quantum system undergoes a cyclic evolution governed by a slow change of parameters, it acquires a phase factor: the geometric phase. Its most common formulations are known as the…

Perspective on topological states of non-Hermitian lattices

. The search of topological states in non-Hermitian systems has gained a strong momentum over the last two years climbing to the level of an emergent research front. In this Perspective we give an…

Experimental Realization of Non-Abelian Geometric Gates

The geometric aspects of quantum mechanics are underlined most prominently by the concept of geometric phases, which are acquired whenever a quantum system evolves along a closed path in Hilbert…

Experimental realization of non-Abelian non-adiabatic geometric gates

It is shown that two different quantum gates, originating from two distinct paths in Hilbert space, yield non-equivalent transformations when applied in different orders, providing evidence for the non-Abelian character of the implemented holonomic quantum operations.

Regular and irregular spectra

In the semi-classical limit, the quantal energy spectrum of a dynamical system of N degrees of freedom consists of two parts with strongly contrasting properties: a regular and an irregular part.…

Phase change during a cyclic quantum evolution.

A new geometric phase factor is defined for any cyclic evolution of a quantum system. This is independent of the phase factor relating the initial and final state vectors and the Hamiltonian, for a…

Appearance of Gauge Structure in Simple Dynamical Systems

Generalizing a construction of Berry and Simon, we show that non-Abelian gauge fields arise in the adiabatic development of simple quantum mechanical systems. Characteristics of the gauge fields are…

Holonomy, the Quantum Adiabatic Theorem, and Berry's Phase

It is shown that the "geometrical phase factor" recently found by Berry in his study of the quantum adiabatic theorem is precisely the holonomy in a Hermitian line bundle since the adiabatic theorem…
