Effective geometric phases and topological transitions in SO(3) and SU(2) rotations

Abstract

We address the development of geometric phases in classical and quantum magnetic moments (spin-1/2) precessing in an external magnetic field. We show that nonadiabatic dynamics lead to a topological phase transition determined by a change in the driving field topology. The transition is associated with an effective geometric phase which is identified from the paths of the magnetic moments in a spherical geometry. The topological transition presents close similarities between SO(3) and SU(2) cases but features differences in, e.g. the adiabatic limits of the geometric phases, being 2π and π in the classical and the quantum case, respectively. We discuss possible experiments where the effective geometric phase would be observable.

Topological phases in adiabatic and nonadiabatic driven systems

Álvaro Gómez-León, Gloria Platero

In this work we study the geometrical and topological properties of nonequilibrium quantum systems driven by ac fields. We consider two tunnel-coupled spin qubits driven by either spatially homogeneous or inhomogeneous ac fields. Our analysis is an extension of the classical model introduced by Berry with the addition of the spatial degree of freedom. We calculate the Berry and Aharonov-Anandan geometric phases, and demonstrate the influence of the different field parameters in the geometric properties. We also discuss the topological properties associated with the different driving regimes, and show that by tuning the different parameters one can induce topological phase transitions, even in the nonadiabatic regime.

Geometric Phase Contribution to Quantum Nonequilibrium Many-Body Dynamics

Michael Tomka, Anatoli Polkovnikov, Vladimir Gritsev

We study the influence of geometry of quantum systems underlying space of states on its quantum many-body dynamics. We observe an interplay between dynamical and topological ingredients of quantum nonequilibrium dynamics revealed by the geometrical structure of the quantum space of states. As a primary example we use the anisotropic XY ring in a transverse magnetic field with an additional time-dependent flux. In particular, if the flux insertion is slow, nonadiabatic transitions in the dynamics are dominated by the dynamical phase. In the opposite limit geometric phase strongly affects transition probabilities. This interplay can lead to a nonequilibrium phase transition between these two regimes. We also analyze the effect of geometric phase on defect generation during crossing a quantum-critical point.

Homotrinuclear Spin Cluster with Orbital Degeneracy in a Magnetic Field: Algebraic Dynamic Studies of the Geometric Phase

Based on the homotrinuclear spin cluster having SU(2)⊗SU(2) symmetry with twofold orbital degeneracy τ = 1/2) and the SU(2) algebraic structures of both ŝ and τ subspaces in the external magnetic field, we calculate exactly the non-adiabatic energy levels and the cyclic and non-cyclic non-adiabatic geometric phase of the homotrinuclear spin cluster by making use of the method of algebraic dynamics. The solution will show that the Berry phase is much influenced by the parameters N = γs/γτ (γs and γτ are the magnetic momentums of ŝ and τ subspaces, respectively) in addition to ω/Ω in a rotating magnetic field. The change of the Berry phase in the basis state of the system is demonstrated from the changing diagram.

Dynamical quantum Hall effect in the parameter space

Vladimir Gritsev, Anatoli Polkovnikov

Geometric phases in quantum mechanics play an extraordinary role in broadening our understanding of fundamental significance of geometry in nature. One of the best known examples is the Berry phase [M.V. Berry (1984), Proc. Royal. Soc. London A, 392:45], which naturally emerges in quantum adiabatic evolution. So far the applicability and measurements of the Berry phase were mostly limited to systems of weakly interacting quasi-particles, where interference experiments are feasible. Here we show how one can go beyond this limitation and observe the Berry curvature, and hence the Berry phase, in generic systems as a nonadiabatic response of physical observables to the rate of change of an external parameter. These results can be interpreted as a dynamical quantum Hall effect in a parameter space. The conventional quantum Hall effect is a particular example of the general relation if one views the electric field as a rate of change of the vector potential. We illustrate our findings by analyzing the response of interacting spin chains to a rotating magnetic field. We observe the quantization of this response, which we term the rotational quantum Hall effect.
