We argue that a complete description of quantum annealing (QA) implemented with continuous variables must take into account the non-adiabatic Aharonov-Anandan geometric phase that arises when the system Hamiltonian changes during the anneal. We show that this geometric effect leads to the appearance of non-stoquastic terms in the effective quantum Ising Hamiltonians that are typically used to describe QA with flux-qubits. We explicitly demonstrate the effect of these geometric interactions when QA is performed with a system of one and two coupled flux-qubits. The realization of non-stoquastic Hamiltonians has important implications from a computational complexity perspective, since it is believed that in many cases QA with stoquastic Hamiltonians can be efficiently simulated via classical algorithms such as Quantum Monte Carlo. It is well-known that the direct implementation of non-stoquastic interactions with flux-qubits is particularly challenging. Our results suggest an alternative path for the implementation of non-stoquastic interactions via geometric phases that can be exploited for computational purposes.

We present a method for calculating the Aharonov-Anandan phase for time-independent Hamiltonians that avoids the calculation of evolution operators. We compare the generic method used to calculate the Aharonov-Anandan phase with the method proposed here through four examples; a spin-1/2 particle in a constant magnetic field, an arbitrary infinite-sized Hamiltonian with two known eigenvalues, a Fabry-Perot cavity with one movable mirror and a three mirrors cavity with a slightly transmissive movable middle mirror.
The role of non-stoquasticity in the field of quantum annealing and adiabatic quantum computing is an actively debated topic. We study a strongly-frustrated quasi-one-dimensional quantum Ising model on a two-leg ladder to elucidate how a first-order phase transition with a topological origin is affected by interactions of the $pm XX$-type. Such interactions are sometimes known as stoquastic (negative sign) and non-stoquastic (positive sign) catalysts. Carrying out a symmetry-preserving real-space renormalization group analysis and extensive density-matrix renormalization group computations, we show that the phase diagrams obtained by these two methods are in qualitative agreement with each other and reveal that the first-order quantum phase transition of a topological nature remains stable against the introduction of both $XX$-type catalysts. This is the first study of the effects of non-stoquasticity on a first-order phase transition between topologically distinct phases. Our results indicate that non-stoquastic catalysts are generally insufficient for removing topological obstacles in quantum annealing and adiabatic quantum computing.
The quantum states which satisfy the equality in the generalised uncertainty relation are called intelligent states. We prove the existence of intelligent states for the Anandan-Aharonov uncertainty relation based on the geometry of the quantum state space for arbitrary parametric evolutions of quantum states when the initial and final states are non-orthogonal.
We present a theoretical study of spin-3/2 hole transport through mesoscopic rings, based on the spherical Luttinger model. The quasi-one-dimensional ring is created in a symmetric two-dimensional quantum well by a singular-oscillator potential for the radial in-plane coordinate. The quantum-interference contribution to the two-terminal ring conductance exhibits an energy-dependent Aharonov-Anandan phase, even though Rashba and Dresselhaus spin splittings are absent. Instead, confinement-induced heavy-hole - light-hole mixing is found to be the origin of this phase, which has ramifications for magneto-transport measurements in gated hole rings.
For the nonlocal $T$-periodic Gross-Pitaevsky operator, formal solutions of the Floquet problem asymptotic in small parameter $hbar$, $hbarto0$, up to $O(hbar^{3/2})$ have been constructed. The quasi-energy spectral series found correspond to the closed phase trajectories of the Hamilton-Ehrenfest system which are stable in the linear approximation. The monodromy operator of this equation has been constructed to within $hat O(hbar^{3/2})$ in the class of trajectory-concentrated functions. The Aharonov-Anandan phases have been calculated for the quasi-energy states.
