Abstract
Recently we showed that quantum cyclic evolution occurs, provided the initial wave function was one of the eigenfunctions of the evolution operator, whatever the concrete form of the Hamiltonian [Phys. Rev. A 50, 5317 (1994)]. This paper will show that, for some specific Hamiltonians, cyclic evolution may occur, even if the initial wave function is not one of the eigenfunctions of the evolution operator. The general conditions for the occurrence of cyclic evolution is derived. Several interesting examples of quantum evolution, also including noncyclic evolution, and some specific geometric phases are given. © 1996 The American Physical Society.Keywords
