Experimental demonstration of a unified framework for mixed-state geometric phases

Geometric phases have been found in every major branch of physics and play an important role in mathematics and quantum computation. Here, we unify two proposed definitions of the geometric phase in mixed states - Uhlmann's phase and Sjöqvist's phase - in a new formalism based on interfero...
