  2. Berry connection and curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berry_connection_and_curvature

    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.

  3. Geometric phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_phase

    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.

  4. Hannay angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannay_angle

    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 ...

  5. Berry mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berry_mechanism

    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.

  6. Symplectic manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplectic_manifold

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerchberg–Saxton_algorithm

    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 .

  9. Chern–Gauss–Bonnet theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chern–Gauss–Bonnet_theorem

    In mathematics, the Chern theorem (or the Chern–Gauss–Bonnet theorem [1] [2] [3] after Shiing-Shen Chern, Carl Friedrich Gauss, and Pierre Ossian Bonnet) states that the Euler–Poincaré characteristic (a topological invariant defined as the alternating sum of the Betti numbers of a topological space) of a closed even-dimensional Riemannian manifold is equal to the integral of a certain ...
