Abstract

An electric network whose dynamics is entirely equivalent to the Foucault pendulum is presented. This circuit allows one to measure in a simulation of the circuit, and eventually in a built circuit in the laboratory, the Hannay geometric phase. This phase corresponds, via the equivalence discussed in the text, exactly to the latitude effect on the rotation of the oscillation plane of the pendulum. The circuit includes a gyrator, that introduces a non-reciprocal character to the network.

Measuring the Hannay geometric phase

Huner Fanchiotti A, Carlos A. García Canal, Miguel Angel Mayosky +2 more

The Hannay geometric phase is the classical analog of the well-known Berry phase. Its most familiar example is the effect of the latitude λ on the motion of a Foucault pendulum. We describe an electronic network whose behavior is exactly equivalent to that of the pendulum. The circuit can be constructed from off-the-shelf components using two matched transconductance amplifiers that comprise a gyrator to introduce the non-reciprocal behavior needed to mimic the pendulum. One may precisely measure the dependence of the Hannay phase on λ by circuit simulation and by laboratory measurements on a constructed circuit.

The Geometric Phase in Classical Systems and in the Equivalent Quantum Hermitian and Non-Hermitian PT-Symmetric Systems

Huner Fanchiotti A, Carlos A. García Canal, Miguel Angel Mayosky +2 more

Abstract The decomplexification procedure allows one to show mathematically (stricto sensu) the equivalence (isomorphism) between the quantum dynamics of a system with a finite number of basis states and a classical dynamics system. This unique way of connecting different dynamics was used in the past to analyze the relationship between the well-known geometric phase present in the quantum evolution discovered by Berry and its generalizations, with their analogs, the Hannay phases, in the classical domain. In here, this analysis is carried out for several quantum hermitian and non-hermitian PT-symmetric Hamiltonians and compared with the Hannay phase analysis in their classical isomorphic equivalent systems. As the equivalence ends in the classical domain with oscillator dynamics, we exploit the analogy to propose resonant electric circuits coupled with a gyrator, to reproduce the geometric phase coming from the theoretical solutions, in simulated laboratory experiments.

Relation between the Berry phase in quantum hermitian and non-hermitian systems and the Hannay phase in the equivalent classical systems

Huner Fanchiotti A, Carlos A. García Canal, Miguel Angel Mayosky +2 more

Berry geometric phase in oscillatory processes

Давид Николаевич Клышко

Useful physical models that reveal the basic physical properties of the Berry phase are presented. They include Foucault's pendulum, rotation of the plane of polarization of light by three mirrors, and so on. Particular attention is devoted to the phase that arises when the polarization of light is transformed by an anisotropic medium. This is used to introduce modern terminology and then to examine more general situations. Several terminological and methodological questions are examined.

Berry's phase and orbital angular momentum

Paolo Martelli, Annalaura Fasiello, Mario Martinelli

In 1984 Berry showed that a quantum system evolving in a cyclic and adiabatic way acquires in addition to the dynamic phase also a phase which of geometric nature, depending on the path on the parameter space [1]. This geometric phase, also named Berry's phase, can be generalized to non-adiabatic situations [2] and presents some classical analogues, as in the case of the motion of a Foucault pendulum [3].

Electrical-Circuit Simulation of the Uhlmann Phase

Yu-Huan Huang, Yu Wang, Jia-Chen Tang +2 more

The Uhlmann phase extends the concept of geometric phases to mixed quantum states through a parallel-transport condition on purification amplitudes, but its experimental realization has so far required sophisticated quantum platforms with carefully engineered auxiliary degrees of freedom. In this work, we reformulate the Uhlmann parallel-transport condition as a linear matrix differential equation and vectorize it to obtain an effective dynamical generator. This generator can be directly mapped onto the admittance matrix of a classical RC circuit, thereby translating the Uhlmann dynamics into the evolution of circuit node voltages. We illustrate the mapping using the equatorial-loop model and, via a rotating-frame transformation followed by a real decomposition, derive a time-independent, real-valued dynamical system suitable for analog implementation. LTspice simulations of the resulting active RC network faithfully reproduce the Uhlmann geometric phase and its topological transition at the critical purity, demonstrating that classical electrical circuits offer a simple and accessible platform for probing mixed-state geometric phases.
