Recently, Berry recognized in quantum mechanics a topological phase factor arising from
the adiabatic transport of a system around a closed circuit, which is essentially the Aharonov …

Geometric phases are a universal concept that underpins numerous phenomena involving
multi-component wave fields. These polarization-dependent phases are inherent in …

Recently, Berry recognized that topological phase factors may arise when a quantum
mechanical system is adiabatically transported around a closed circuit. We have measured …

We review the geometrical-optics evolution of an electromagnetic wave propagating along a
curved ray trajectory in a gradient-index dielectric medium. A Coriolis-type term appears in …

Sample rotation is shown to induce frequency splittings in nuclear-quadrupole-resonance
spectra. The splittings are interpreted both as a manifestation of Berry's phase, associated …

Fractional quantization of the adiabatic pseudorotation in an isolated molecule is reported.
This result, concerning the large-amplitude pseudorotation in 2 2 E′ Na 3, constitutes the …

We extend recent works of Berry, Simon, and others on the evolution of adiabatic wave
functions in parameter spaces with nontrivial global geometry, to show the interesting ways …

In this paper the idea of holonomic quantum computation is realized within quantum optics.
In a nonlinear Kerr medium the degenerate states of laser beams are interpreted as qubits …

It is pointed out that, contrary to naive expectation, the gauge structure or Berry connection
recently found in slowly varying quantum systems gives rise to observable effects even for …
