Take and . A full spin one-half rotation gives , an essential sign. The cyclic phase of a spin in a rotating field has factors and total quantum phasesTo separate the adiabatic dynamical phase, set and . Then . The instantaneous laboratory energies are , so the adiabatic dynamical phases are . Subtracting them from givesThe oriented solid angle is swept out by the field direction. These are the Berry phases for the eigenstates parallel and antiparallel to that direction. Retaining the spinor sign makes the quantum phase vanish modulo when the field does not trace a nontrivial loop. The assumption suffices for adiabatic following; near degeneracy it must not be silently dropped.[ref]
