Show that if is real, the geometric phase vanishes. (Problems 10.3 and 10.4 are examples of this.) You might try to beat the rap by tacking an unnecessary (but perfectly legal) phase factor onto the eigenfunctions: , where is an arbitrary (real) function. Try it. You'll get a nonzero geometric phase, all right, but note what happens when you put it back into Equation 10.23. And for a closed loop it gives zero. Moral: For nonzero Berry's phase, you need (i) more than one time-dependent parameter in the Hamiltonian, and (ii) a Hamiltonian that yields nontrivially complex eigenfunctions.
The delta function well (Equation 2.114) supports a single bound state (Equation 2.129). Calculate the geometric phase change whengradually increases from. If the increase occurs at a constant rate, what is the dynamic phase change for this process?
The adiabatic approximation can be regarded as the first term in an adiabatic series for the coefficientsin Equation. Suppose the system starts out in theth state; in the adiabatic approximation, it remains in theth state, picking up only a time-dependent geometric phase factor (Equation):
(a) Substitute this into the right side of Equationto obtain the "first correction" to adiabaticity:
This enables us to calculate transition probabilities in the nearly adiabatic regime. To develop the "second correction," we would insert Equationon the right side of Equation, and so on.
(b) As an example, apply Equationto the driven oscillator (Problem). Show that (in the near-adiabatic approximation) transitions are possible only to the two immediately adjacent levels, for which
Work out to analog to Equation 10.62 for a particle of spin I.
(a) Use Equation 10.42 to calculate the geometric phase change when the infinite square well expands adiabatically from width to width . Comment on this result.
(b) If the expansion occurs at a constant rate, what is the dynamic phase change for this process?
(c) If the well now contracts back to its original size, what is Berry's phase for the cycle?
