Quantum state manifold and geometric, dynamic and topological phases for an interacting two-spin system

Abstract
We consider a two-spin system of [Formula: see text] Heisenberg type submitted to an external magnetic field. Using the associated [Formula: see text] geometry, we investigate the dynamics of the system. We explicitly give the corresponding Fubini–Study metric. We show that for arbitrary pure initial states, the dynamics occurs on a torus. We compute the geometric phase, the dynamic phase and the topological phase. We investigate the interplay between the torus geometry and the entanglement of the two spins. In this respect, we provide a detailed analysis of the geometric phase, the dynamics velocity and the geodesic distance measured by the Fubini–Study metric in terms of the degree of entanglement between the two spins.
