Abstract
It is shown that the Berry phase is invariant under both time-dependent unitary and gauge transformations. The initial condition of the quantum system plays a role in uniquely determining the Berry phase. The quantum states transported separately by two Hamiltonians, which are initially related with a static gauge transformation, differ by a Berry phase. The phase in this case cannot be removed by a valid unitary transformation.
