The concept was first introduced by S. Pancharatnam [1] as geometric phase and later elaborately explained and popularized by Michael Berry in a paper published in 1984 [2] emphasizing how geometric phases provide a powerful unifying concept in several branches of classical and quantum physics.
There are several important aspects of this generalization of Berry's phase: 1) Instead of the parameter space for the original Berry phase, this Ning-Haken generalization is defined in phase space; 2) Instead of the adiabatic evolution in quantum mechanical system, the evolution of the system in phase space needs not to be adiabatic.
The Hannay angle is defined in the context of action-angle coordinates.In an initially time-invariant system, an action variable is a constant. After introducing a periodic perturbation (), the action variable becomes an adiabatic invariant, and the Hannay angle for its corresponding angle variable can be calculated according to the path integral that represents an evolution in which the ...
Trigonal bipyramidal molecular shape ax = axial ligands (on unique axis) eq = equatorial ligand (in plane perpendicular to unique axis). The Berry mechanism, or Berry pseudorotation mechanism, is a type of vibration causing molecules of certain geometries to isomerize by exchanging the two axial ligands (see the figure) for two of the equatorial ones.
Symplectic manifolds arise from classical mechanics; in particular, they are a generalization of the phase space of a closed system. [1] In the same way the Hamilton equations allow one to derive the time evolution of a system from a set of differential equations, the symplectic form should allow one to obtain a vector field describing the flow of the system from the differential of a ...

In mathematics, the Berry–Robbins problem asks whether there is a continuous map from configurations of n points in R 3 to the flag manifold U(n)/T n that is compatible with the action of the symmetric group on n points. It was posed by Berry and Robbins in 1997, [1] and solved positively by Atiyah in 2000. [2] [3]
The pseudocode below performs the GS algorithm to obtain a phase distribution for the plane "Source", such that its Fourier transform would have the amplitude distribution of the plane "Target". The Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm is one of the most prevalent methods used to create computer-generated holograms .
