What is recorded here?
Derived the geometric phase acquired by a quantum eigenstate transported adiabatically around a closed circuit in parameter space, in addition to its dynamical phase.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is Berry’s sole-author 1984 Royal Society paper, received in 1983. Earlier geometric-phase antecedents, the Aharonov–Bohm effect, later non-Abelian extensions and experimental demonstrations retain separate attribution.
