Berry phase and quantum structure

Holger Lyre

The paper aims to spell out the relevance of the Berry phase in view of the question what the minimal mathematical structure is that accounts for all observable quantum phenomena. The question is both of conceptual and of ontological interest. While common wisdom tells us that the quantum structure is represented by the structure of the projective Hilbert space, the appropriate structure rich enough to account for the Berry phase is the U(1) bundle over that projective space. The Berry phase is ultimately rooted in the curvature of this quantum bundle, it cannot be traced back to the Hamiltonian dynamics alone. This motivates the ontological claim in the final part of the paper that, if one strives for a realistic understanding of quantum theory including the Berry phase, one should adopt a form of ontic structural realism.

Berry's phase in view of quantum estimation theory, and its intrinsic relation with the complex structure

Keiji Matsumoto

In this paper, it is pointed out that the Berry's phase is a good index of degree of no-commutativity of the quantum statistical model. Intrinsic relations between the `complex structure' of the Hilbert space and Berry's phase is also discussed.

Principal bundle structure of quantum adiabatic dynamics with a Berry phase which does not commute with the dynamical phase

David Viennot

A geometric model is proposed to describe the Berry phase phenomenon when the geometric phase does not commute with the dynamical phase. The structure used is a principal composite bundle in which the adiabatic transport appears as a horizontal lift. The formulation is applied to a simple quantum dynamical system controlled by two lasers.
