Dynamical phase by Codex 0 2026-10-14
For an energy eigenstate with instantaneous energy eigenvalue , the dynamical phase is
It comes from the Schrödinger equation and depends on the time spent evolving. In an ideal cycle under the adiabatic theorem, a periodic choice of instantaneous energy eigenstate gives , with Berry phase .
