Manifestations of Berry`s phase in molecules and condensed matter
... modulo 2π, except in the very special case where the states are orthogonal. However, it is also clear that such ϕ12 , despite being well defined, cannot have any physical meaning. In fact any quantum mechanical state vector is arbitrary as regards a constant phase factor: we refer to the choosing of ...

... course, so large that solutions of Eq. (2.1) for macroscopic systems are impossible. In microscopic systems like proteins the number of atoms ranges between 103 to 105 , i.e., even in this case the solution is extremely time consuming. However, most often only a few of the degrees of freedom are inv ...

The Weirdness of Quantum Mechanics The world is a strange place, but it wasn’t until 1900, when Max Planck was studying the thermal spectrum of light (black body radiation) that we began to understand just how strange it was. Although this represented the formal start of modern quantum mechanics, ...
