Cyclic evolution in quantum mechanics and the phases of Bohr-Sommerfeld and Maslov

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The Bohr-Sommerfeld and Maslov phases, which occur in the Einstein-Brillouin-Keller quantization rule of semiclassical mechanics, are shown to be examples of Berry's phase. The generalization of Berry's phase due to Aharanov and Anandan, which does not require adiabaticity, is employed.
