• Abstract summary: We study the geometric phase (GP) of a two-level atom coupled to an environment composed of free space and a nanosphere in thermal and out of thermal equilibrium. We find that the GP exhibits a significant enhancement due to the excitation of evanescent surface waves at its resonance frequency.

• Abstract: We study the geometric phase (GP) of a two-level atom coupled to an environment composed of free space and a dielectric nanosphere in thermal and out of thermal equilibrium. We analytically and numerically analyze the optical properties and loss of the dielectric medium, along with the non-equilibrium effects of the environment on the GP. In the weak coupling limit, we find that the correction to the GP depends on the partial local density of photonic states at the atom position, and an effective parameter that emerges out of the non-equilibrium configuration of the system. The GP exhibits a significant enhancement due to the excitation of evanescent surface waves at its resonance frequency. It is shown that the GP acquired by the atomic system out of thermal equilibrium is always bounded between the thermal-equilibrium counterparts. Furthermore, the temperature difference between the nanosphere and free space can play an important role in the GP only at moderate atomic distances from the nanosphere. Our results elegantly demonstrate properties of the GP near material media that can support phononic modes and pave the way for further research of GP as a resource for quantum computation.

• Geometric phase of very slow neutrons [0.0]
  The geometric phase acquired by a neutron passing through a uniform magnetic field elucidates a subtle interplay between its spatial and spin degrees of freedom. In the standard setup using thermal neutrons, the kinetic energy is much larger than the typical Zeeman split. This causes the spin to undergo nearly perfect precession around the axis of the magnetic field and the GP becomes a function only of the corresponding cone angle.
