Abstract

We construct the adiabatic theorem independent of the quantum representations. The quantum-representation-independent geometrical phase, adiabatic condition, and fidelity of the adiabatic approximation are derived. As an example, we apply the quantum-representation-independent adiabatic theorem to provide a thorough resolution of the Marzlin-Sanders inconsistency. We show that the Marzlin-Sanders inconsistency results from the wrong identification of the time-dependent Hamiltonian as the instantaneous energy operator and the quantum representation dependence of the Marzlin-Sanders transformation.
