• Abstract: Geometric momentum is the proper momentum for a moving particle constrained on a curved surface, which depends on the outer curvature and has observable effects. In the context of multi-component quantum states, geometric momentum should be rewritten as generally covariant geometric momentum. For a Dirac fermion constrained on a two-dimensional hypersurface, we give the generally covariant geometric momentum, and show that on the pseudosphere and the helical surface there exist no curvature-induced geometric potentials. These results verify that the dynamical quantization conditions are effective in dealing with constrained systems on hypersurfaces, and one could obtain the generally convariant geometric momentum and the geometric potential of a spin particle constrained on surfaces with definite parametric equations.

  In a gravitational quantum switch, the order of operations applied by two agents on a target system is entangled with the state of the geometry. We consider a model describing the superposition of geometries produced by distinct arrangements of spherical mass shells. We show that a protocol for the implementation of a gravitational quantum switch can be formulated in such a system.

  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.
