• Abstract: Geometric phase plays a fundamental role in quantum theory and accounts for wide phenomena ranging from the Aharanov-Bohm effect, the integer and fractional quantum hall effects, and topological phases of matter, including topological insulators, to name a few. In this thesis, we have proposed a fresh perspective of geodesics and null phase curves, which are key ingredients in understanding the geometric phase. We have also looked at a number of applications of geometric phases in topological phases, quantum walks, and non-inertial quantum systems. The shortest curve between any two points on a given surface is a (minimal) geodesic. They are also the curves along which a system does not acquire any geometric phase. In the same context, we can generalize geodesics to define a larger class of curves, known as null phase curves (NPCs), along which also the acquired geometric phase is zero; however, they need not be the shortest curves between the two points. We have proposed a geometrical decomposition of geodesics and null phase curves on the Bloch sphere, which is crucial in improving our understanding of the geometry of the state space and the intrinsic symmetries of geodesics and NPCs. We have also investigated the persistence of topological phases in quantum walks in the presence of an external (lossy) environment. We show that the topological order in one and two-dimensional quantum walks persist against moderate losses. Further, we use the geometric phase to detect the non-inertial modifications to the field correlators perceived by a circularly rotating two-level atom placed inside a cavity.

• Curves in quantum state space, geometric phases, and the brachistophase [0.0]
  Given a curve in quantum spin state space, we inquire what is the relation between its geometry and the geometric phase accumulated along it. We find a general expression for the derivatives of the geometric phase in terms of the covariant derivatives of the curve. For example, the optimal evolution of a spin coherent state consists of a single Majorana star separating from the rest and tracing out a circle on the Majorana sphere.

  This work investigates the connections between integrable quantum systems with quantum phenomena exploitable in quantum information tasks. We find the relevant dynamics, identify the corresponding quantum phase space and derive the associated Fubini-Study metric. By narrowing the system to a two spin-$mathtts$ system, we explore the relevant entanglement from two different perspectives.

  We compute the geometric phases acquired in both unitary and dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models.

We show the geometric phase is robust, exhibiting a vanishing correction under a non-unitary evolution.

We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
