The fundamental theory of the geometric phase is summarized in a way suitable for use in
molecular systems treated by the Born-Oppenheimer approach. Both Abelian and non …

The advancement of high-power and short-pulse laser technology in the past two decades
has generated considerable interest in the study of multiphoton and very high-order …

Aimed at graduate physics and chemistry students, this is the first comprehensive
monograph covering the concept of the geometric phase in quantum physics from its …

The phase shifts experienced by a polarized light wave when it propagates through media
with arbitrary birefringence, dichroism and depolarizing properties, while on the one hand …

When a quantum system evolves so that it returns to its initial physical state, it acquires
a'memory'of this motion in the form of a geometric phase in the wavefunction. This phase …

Quantum computers [1–4] are explicitly quantum mechanical systems that use phenomena
such as superposition and entanglement to perform computational tasks more efficiently …

We show that quantum computation is possible with mixed states instead of pure states as
inputs. This is performed by embedding within the mixed state a subspace that transforms …

Abstract Weak values and Kirkwood–Dirac (KD) quasiprobability distributions have been
independently associated with both foundational issues in quantum theory and advantages …

We describe a He 3-Xe 129 comagnetometer using Rb 87 atoms for noble-gas spin
polarization and detection. We use a train of Rb 87 π pulses and σ+/σ-optical pumping to …

We investigate adiabatic evolution of quantum states as governed by the nonlinear
Schrödinger equation and provide examples of applications with a nonlinear tunneling …
