Berry and Pancharatnam topological phases of atomic and optical systems

Open access

Abstract

Theoretical and experimental studies of Berry and Pancharatnam phases are reviewed. Basic elements of differential geometry necessary for understanding the topological nature of these phases are presented. The basic theory analysed by Berry in relation to magnetic monopoles is presented. The theory is generalized to nonadiabatic processes and to noncyclic Pancharatnam phases. Different systems are discussed including polarization optics, n -level atomic systems, neutron interferometry and molecular topological phases.

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.
