Measurement of Berry's phase using an atom interferometer
We report on the demonstration of Berry's phase in an atomic state interacting with a laser field. We draw an analogy between this system and that of a spin interacting with a directionally varying magnetic field. This allows us to identify an effective magnetic quantum number for the atom-ligh...
