متن کاملGeometric Phases for SU(3) Representations and Three Level Quantum Systems
A comprehensive analysis of the pattern of geometric phases arising in unitary representations of the group SU(3) is presented. The structure of the group manifold, convenient local coordinate systems and their overlaps, and complete expressions for the Maurer—Cartan forms are described. Combined with a listing of all inequivalent continuous subgroups of SC/(3) and the general properties of dyn...
متن کاملDensity Matrices and Geometric Phases for n-state Systems
An explicit parameterization is given for the density matrices for n-state systems. The geometry of the space of pure and mixed states and the entropy of the n-state system is discussed. Geometric phases can arise in only specific subspaces of the space of all density matrices. The possibility of obtaining nontrivial abelian and nonabelian geometric phases in these subspaces is discussed. Perma...
متن کاملOn geometric phases for quantum trajectories
A sequence of completely positive maps can be decomposed into quantum trajectories. The geometric phase or holonomy of such a trajectory is delineated. For nonpure initial states, it is shown that well-defined holonomies can be assigned by using Uhlmann’s concept of parallel transport along the individual trajectories. We put forward an experimental realization of the geometric phase for a quan...
متن کاملGeometric phases , gauge symmetries and ray representation
The conventional formulation of the non-adiabatic (Aharonov-Anandan) phase is based on the equivalence class {eiα(t)ψ(t, ~x)} which is not a symmetry of the Schrödinger equation. This equivalence class when understood as defining generalized rays in the Hilbert space is not generally consistent with the superposition principle in interference and polarization phenomena. The hidden local gauge s...
