On the correspondence of semiclassical and quantum phases in cyclic evolutions
Abstract
Based on the exactly solvable case of a harmonic oscillator, the authors show that the direct correspondence between the Bohr-Sommerfeld phase of semiclassical quantum mechanics and the topological phase of Aharonov and Anandan is restricted to the case of a coherent state. For other Gaussian wave packets the geometric quantum phase strongly depends on the amount of squeezing. 12 refs.
