Topological phases in quantum mechanics and polarization optics
Open accessAbstract
A mathematical treatment is presented of the known Berry, Wilczek-Zee, Aharonov-Anandan, and Pancharatnam topological phases, and simple illustrative examples of their quantum mechanics are presented. The continuity and connection is traced among the various phases, while filling the gap involved with the forgotten works of S. M. Rytov and V. V. Vladimirskiĭ in polarization optics. A set of current experiments in polarization optics where the topological phases are measured is discussed in detail. Additional information on recently obtained results involving manifestations of geometrical phases in quantum mechanics and other fields of physics is contained in the Appendix and in the studies cited there.

In the simplest case of total reflection from an interface, the reflected beam acquires a helicity-dependent shift (the Imbert-Fedorov shift).
“In the simplest case of total reflection from the interface, the reflected beam acquires the helicity-dependent shift”
From Spin–orbit interactions of light (2015) · cites this paper as [75]
Section 3.1 discusses polarization changes at a reflecting interface, while Section 3.6 describes a helicity-dependent phase and a shift of interference fringes after multiple reflections. Neither passage addresses a spatial shift of a beam reflected from a single interface; searches for the Imbert–Fedorov effect and reflected-beam displacement found no such passage in our copy.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe Berry phase provides a natural geometrical formalism that describes variations of the light polarization along the propagation trajectory.
“The Berry phase provides a natural geometrical formalism that describes variations of the light polarization along the propagation trajectory (see reviews [4 -7] and original papers [8 -20]).”

The Berry connection determines the natural parallel transport of the polarization vector e over the unit t-sphere.
“In this manner, polarization vector e is tangent to this sphere, and the Berry connection determines the natural parallel transport of e over the 2 S sphere, Fig. 2 [1 -7,9,13 -15,44,84 -90].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
