• Abstract: A non-relativistic scalar particle moving on a curved surface undergoes a geometric scattering whose behavior is sensitive to the theoretically ambiguous values of the intrinsic and extrinsic curvature coefficients entering the expression for the quantum Hamiltonian operator. This suggests using the scattering data to settle the ambiguity in the definition of the Hamiltonian. It has recently been shown that the inclusion of point defects on the surface enhances the geometric scattering effects. We perform a detailed study of the geometric scattering phenomenon in the presence of line defects for the case that the particle is confined to move on a Gaussian bump and the defect(s) are modeled by delta-function potentials supported on a line or a set of parallel lines normal to the scattering axis. In contrast to a surface having point defects, the scattering phenomenon associated with this system is generically geometric in nature in the sense that for a flat surface the scattering amplitude vanishes for all scattering angles $\theta$ except $\theta=\theta_0$ and $\pi-\theta_0$, where $\theta_0$ is the angle of incidence. We show that the presence of the line defects amplifies the geometric scattering due to the Gaussian bump. This amplification effect is particularly strong when the center of the bump is placed between two line defects.

We derive explicit expressions for the wave functions, energy dispersion relations, and the spin rotations of the (generic) helical edge states. Our perturbative framework also allows deriving an explicit form for the rotation of the spins of the momentum edge states in the absence of axial spin symmetry.

  We compute the geometric phases acquired in both unitary and dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models. In the dissipative model, the non-unitary effects arise from the outflow of photons through the cavity walls. We show the geometric phase is robust, exhibiting a vanishing correction under a non-unitary evolution.
