- Abstract summary: We show that even an infinitesimal deviation of the initial state from the eigenstate of the initial Hamiltonian can yield a significant change of the geometric phase accompanying an adiabatic evolution.

- Abstract: One milestone in quantum physics is Berry's seminal work
[Proc.~R.~Soc.~Lond.~A \textbf{392}, 45 (1984)], in which a quantal phase
factor known as geometric phase was discovered to solely depend on the
evolution path in state space. Here, we unveil that even an infinitesimal
deviation of the initial state from the eigenstate of the initial Hamiltonian
can yield a significant change of the geometric phase accompanying an adiabatic
evolution. This leads to the surprising observation that two geometric phases
can dramatically differ from each other even if their evolution paths are
sufficiently close in a pointwise manner.

Quantum spin liquid has massive many spin entanglement in the ground state, we can evaluate it by the entanglement entropy, but the latter can not be observed directly by experiment.
We extend it to the sub-geometric phase which can exist in the density matrix and have influence on the entanglement entropy, spin correlation function as well as other physical observable.
