Geometric phase and in-phase superpositions: A fresh perspective on interference in phase space
We apply geometric phase ideas to coherent states to shed light on interference phenomenon in the phase space description of continuous variable Cartesian quantum systems. The motivating idea is Pancharatnam's concept of two Hilbert space vectors being ’’in phase”. This leads to special sums an...
