In this paper, we derive three tight bounds on the time required to generate any prescribed Aharonov-Anandan geometric phase. The derivations are based on recent results on the geometric character of the classic Mandelstam-Tamm and Margolus-Levitin quantum speed limits.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-05-20T10:01:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "tight lower bounds", "evolution time", "non-adiabatic aharonov-anandan geometric phase", "margolus-levitin quantum speed limits", "prescribed aharonov-anandan geometric phase" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
