Abstract
We introduce a feasible scheme, considering nowadays available technology, to control and measure nonadiabatic geometrical phases in cavity quantum electrodynamics. Our proposal employs the dispersive interaction of a two-level atom with a quantized cavity field driving by a time dependent linear amplification process. A geometrical phase factor in the state of the system is introduced by such amplification process which depends on the atomic state (due to the Stark shift). We provide a geometrical interpretation of this effect that may be useful for implementation of geometric quantum computation. Finally, we show how to measure this effect in an interferometric experiment and to generate geometrical "Schrodinger cat"-like states.
