Nonadiabatic Berry phase in rotating systems.

Abstract

The time-dependent Schr\odinger equation for a particle in general rotating systems is solved analytically, and the exact solutions are used to study the nonadiabatic Berry phase. It is shown that the nonadiabatic Berry topological phase appears in general rotating systems for purely mechanical reasons and is observable. An alternative expression for the nonadiabatic Berry phase is given and discussed.
