• Abstract: The fate of the molecular geometric phase in an exact dynamical framework is investigated with the help of the exact factorization of the wavefunction and a recently proposed quantum hydrodynamical description of its dynamics. An instantaneous, gauge invariant phase is introduced for arbitrary paths in nuclear configuration space in terms of hydrodynamical variables, and shown to reduce to the adiabatic geometric phase when the state is adiabatic and the path is closed. The evolution of the closed-path phase over time is shown to adhere to a Maxwell-Faraday induction law, with non-conservative forces arising from the electron dynamics that play the role of electromotive forces. We identify the pivotal forces that are able to change the value of the phase, thereby challenging any topological argument. Nonetheless, negligible changes in the phase occur when the local dynamics along the probe loop is approximately adiabatic. In other words, the adiabatic idealization of geometric phase effects may remain suitable for effectively describing certain dynamic observables.

  We investigate the dynamics of directed current, mean energy, and quantum scrambling in an interacting Floquet system with a ratchet potential. The directed current is controlled by the phase of the ratchet potential and remains independent of the self-interaction strength. The phase modulation induced by self-interaction dominates the quadratic growth of both mean energy and Out-of-Time-Ordered Correlators (OTOCs)

• Geometric Phase in Kitaev Quantum Spin Liquid [0.0]
  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.

• Emergence of the molecular geometric phase from exact electron-nuclear dynamics [0.0]
  In chemistry, geometric phases appear when a reaction path encircles an intersection between adiabatic potential energy surfaces. Recent works have shown that the geometric phase is an artifact of the adiabatic approximation, challenging the perceived utility of the concept in molecules. We introduce instantaneous, gauge invariant phases separately for the electrons and for the nuclei, and use them to monitor the phase difference between the trailing edges of a wavepacket encircling a conical intersection.

  We study the manipulation of Majorana zero modes in a thin disk made from a $p$-wave superconductor. We analyze the second-order topological corner modes that arise when an in-plane magnetic field is applied. We show that oscillations persist even in the adiabatic phase because of a frequency independent coupling between zero modes and excited states.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

  We provide a generic non-adiabatic protocol of slowly quenching the system Hamiltonian. We find that the topological invariants of the post-quench Hamiltonian are characterized directly by the values of spin texture on the band surfaces. Our findings are not restricted to 1D and 2D topological phases under Coulomb-like quench protocol, but are also valid for higher dimensional system or different quench protocol.
