Generalization of geometric phase to completely positive maps
Marie Ericsson, Erik Sjöqvist, Johan Brännlund, Daniel K. L. Oi, Arun K. Pati
abstract: We generalize the notion of relative phase to completely positive maps with
known unitary representation, based on interferometry. Parallel transport
conditions that define the geometric phase for such maps are introduced. The
interference effect is embodied in a set of interference patterns defined by
flipping the environment state in one of the two paths. We show for the qubit
that this structure gives rise to interesting additional information about the
geometry of the evolution defined by the CP map.
