The Geometric Phase in Classical Systems and in the Equivalent Quantum Hermitian and Non-Hermitian PT-Symmetric Systems

Abstract

Abstract The decomplexification procedure allows one to show mathematically (stricto sensu) the equivalence (isomorphism) between the quantum dynamics of a system with a finite number of basis states and a classical dynamics system. This unique way of connecting different dynamics was used in the past to analyze the relationship between the well-known geometric phase present in the quantum evolution discovered by Berry and its generalizations, with their analogs, the Hannay phases, in the classical domain. In here, this analysis is carried out for several quantum hermitian and non-hermitian PT-symmetric Hamiltonians and compared with the Hannay phase analysis in their classical isomorphic equivalent systems. As the equivalence ends in the classical domain with oscillator dynamics, we exploit the analogy to propose resonant electric circuits coupled with a gyrator, to reproduce the geometric phase coming from the theoretical solutions, in simulated laboratory experiments.

Quantum and classical dynamics correspondence and the brachistochrone problem

Huner Fanchiotti A, Carlos A. García Canal, Miguel Angel Mayosky +2 more

The decomplexification procedure, which allows showing mathematically the isomorphism between classical and quantum dynamics of systems with a finite number of basis states, is exploited to propose resonant electric circuits with gyrator-based couplings and to experimentally study the quantum brachistochrone problem, particularly the passage time in Hermitian and parity-time-symmetric cases.

Non-Abelian quantum adiabatic dynamics and phase simulation with classical resonant oscillators

Yanan Zhang, J. Shen, H. D. Liu +1 more

It is known that the dynamics and geometric phase of a quantum system could be mapped mathematically into a classical system of coupled oscillators without loss of physics. In this work, we show that this quantum-classical mapping can also be used to simulate non-Abelian dynamics and phase of the quantum system with energy degeneracy by interpreting the quantum degeneracy as the resonance between the eigenfrequencies of the classical oscillators. The quantum evolution and Wilczek-Zee phase in the degenerate subspace can also be described by the classical non-Abelian evolution and a non-Abelian geometric angle in the resonant subspace. By studying the adiabatic evolution in this classical non-Abelian case, our results can also be used to generalize the concept of averaging principle and Hannay's angle into the classical system with resonant eigenfrequencies. The quantum-classical mapping of a tripod-scheme Hamiltonian with two degenerate dark states is employed to illustrate the classical non-Abelian dynamics and geometric angles.

Geometric phase in PT -symmetric quantum mechanics

Jiangbin Gong, Qinghai Wang

Unitary evolution in $\mathcal{P}$$\mathcal{T}$-symmetric quantum mechanics (QM) with a time-dependent metric is found to yield an interesting class of adiabatic processes. As an explicit example, a Berry-like phase associated with a $\mathcal{P}$$\mathcal{T}$-symmetric two-level system is derived and is interpreted as the flux of a fictitious monopole with a tunable charge plus a singular string component with nontrivial phase contributions. To gain more insight, the Hermitian analog of our non-Hermitian problem is also analyzed, which results in an intriguing class of geometric-phase problems in conventional QM as well, where the Hamiltonian includes a perturbative term that is proportional to the rate of change in adiabatic parameters.

Measuring the Hannay geometric phase

Huner Fanchiotti A, Carlos A. García Canal, Miguel Angel Mayosky +2 more

The Hannay geometric phase is the classical analog of the well-known Berry phase. Its most familiar example is the effect of the latitude λ on the motion of a Foucault pendulum. We describe an electronic network whose behavior is exactly equivalent to that of the pendulum. The circuit can be constructed from off-the-shelf components using two matched transconductance amplifiers that comprise a gyrator to introduce the non-reciprocal behavior needed to mimic the pendulum. One may precisely measure the dependence of the Hannay phase on λ by circuit simulation and by laboratory measurements on a constructed circuit.

Study of geometric phase using classical coupled oscillators

Sharba Bhattacharjee, Biprateep Dey, Ashok Kumar Mohapatra

Abstract We illustrate the geometric phase associated with the cyclic dynamics of a classical system of coupled oscillators. We use an analogy between a classical coupled oscillator and a two-state quantum mechanical system to represent the evolution of the oscillator on an equivalent Hilbert space, which may be represented as a trajectory on the surface of a sphere. The cyclic evolution of the system leads to a change in phase, which consists of a dynamic phase along with an additional phase shift dependent on the geometry of the evolution. A simple experiment suitable for advanced undergraduate students is designed to study the geometric phase incurred during cyclic evolution of a coupled oscillator.
