Effective Hamiltonians in quantum physics: resonances and geometric phase
arXiv:quant-ph/0512135 · doi:10.1088/0031-8949/74/2/N03
Abstract
Effective Hamiltonians are often used in quantum physics, both in time dependent and time independent contexts. Analogies are drawn between the two usages, the discussion framed particularly for the geometric phase of a time-dependent Hamiltonian and for resonances as stationary states of a time-independent Hamiltonian.
