Course Description

Overview

Explore the mathematical properties of geometry and topology in quantum mechanics through this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the states of quantum systems, Wigner's 1931 theorem, and Bargmann invariants. Examine Pancharatnam's 1956 work and Berry's 1983 adiabatic geometric phase, including generalizations and the Samuel-Bhandari treatment of noncyclic cases. Investigate the kinematic approach to geometric phase, simplest invariant expressions, and the general connection between Bargmann invariants and geometric phases. Conclude with an exploration of null phase curves (NPC) in this in-depth discussion of advanced quantum mechanics concepts.
