Berry phase of spin-one system in a rotating electric field

Abstract

Abstract We consider in 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 that require attention in order not to go astray.

Comment on the Adiabatic Condition

Pinto, A C A, Nemes, M C, De Faria, J G P +1 more

The experimental observation of effects due to Berry's phase in quantum systems is certainly one of the most impressive demonstrations of the correctness of the superposition principle in Quantum Mechanics. Since Berry's original paper in 1984, the spin 1/2 coupled with rotating external magnetic field has been one of the most studied model where those phases appear. We also consider this soluble model. A detailed analysis of the coupled differential equations and comparison with exact results teach us why the usual procedure (of neglecting non-diagonal terms) is mathematically sound.

Evolution and Berry Phase of Spin-1 Particles in a Rotating Magnetic Field

Yan Yu-zhen

The evolutions of spin particles in a rotating magnetic field are discussed. We obtained the wavefunctions of the spin 1/2 and spin 3/2 particles by the trial function method. The Berry phase of the system are also discussed after an evolution period.

Berry's phase in the two-level model

A.C. Aguiar Pinto, Marcus V. O. Moutinho, M. T. Thomaz

We study the adiabatic evolution of a two-level model in the presence of an external classical electric field. The coupling between the quantum model and the classical field is taken in the electric dipole approximation. In this regime, we show the absence of geometric phases in the interacting two-level model in the presence of any periodic real time-dependent classical electric field. We obtain a conservative scalar potential in the calculation of Berry's phases of the instantaneous eigenstates of the model. For complex electric fields, we recover the existence of geometric phases. In particular, the geometric phases of the instantaneous eigenstates of the model in the presence of a positive or of a negative frequency component of the monochromatic electric field differ by an overall sign. As a check on our results, we map this interacting two-level model onto a spin-1/2 model under the action of a classical magnetic field. We confirm that the first one acquires Berry's phase only in the rotating wave approximation [RWA].

The experimental observation of effects due to Berry’s phase in quantum systems is certainly one of the most impressive demonstrations of the correctness of the superposition principle in quantum mechanics. Since Berry’s original paper in 1984, the spin 12 coupled with a rotating external magnetic field has been one of the most studied models where those phases appear. We also consider a special case of this soluble model. A detailed analysis of the coupled differential equations and comparison with exact results teach us why the usual procedure (of neglecting nondiagonal terms) is mathematically sound.

Direct calculation of the Berry phase for spins and helicities

Thomas F. Jordan

The Berry phase for spins or helicities is calculated in a simple way in which it appears more as a property of the spin states than of the Hamiltonian. The calculation applies to nonrelativistic particles or relativistic particles with either zero or nonzero mass. A simple way to see how the Berry phase corresponds to rotation of the electric and magnetic fields of plane-polarized light is also pointed out.
