Degeneracies in the spectrum of an adiabatically transported quantum system are important to determine the geometrical phase factor, and may be interpreted as magnetic monopoles. We investigate the mechanism by which constraints acting on the system, related to local symmetries, can create arbitrarily large monopole charges. These charges are associated with different geometries of the degeneracy. An explicit method to compute the charge as well as several illustrative examples are given.
The monopole for the geometric curvature is studied for non-Hermitian systems. We find that the monopole contains not only the exceptional points but also branch cuts. As the mathematical choice of branch cut in the complex plane is rather arbitrary,
Although stoquastic Hamiltonians are known to be simulable via sign-problem-free quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) techniques, the non-stoquasticity of a Hamiltonian does not necessarily imply the existence of a QMC sign problem. We give a sufficient and nec
The relationship between quantum phase transition and complex geometric phase for open quantum system governed by the non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonian with the accidental crossing of the eigenvalues is established. In particular, the geometric pha
In this reply, we address the comment by Ericsson and Sjoqvist on our paper [Phys. Rev. A {bf 84}, 034103 (2011)]. We point out that the zero gauge field is not the evidence of trivial geometric phase for a non-Abelian SU(2) gauge field. Furthermore,
We show that the definition of instantaneous eigenstate populations for a dynamical non-self-adjoint system is not obvious. The naive direct extension of the definition used for the self-adjoint case leads to inconsistencies; the resulting artifacts
