Journal ArticleDOI
Quantal phase factors accompanying adiabatic changes
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Aharonov-Bohm effect can be interpreted as a geometrical phase factor and a general formula for γ(C) was derived in terms of the spectrum and eigen states of the Hamiltonian over a surface spanning C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dislocations in wave trains
John F. Nye,Michael V Berry +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that dislocations are to be expected whenever limited trains of waves, ultimately derived from the same oscillator, travel in different directions and interfere -for example in a scattering problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonspreading wave packets
Michael V Berry,N. L. Balazs +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that for a wave ψ in the form of an Airy function the probability density ψ 2 propagates in free space without distortion and with constant acceleration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semiclassical approximations in wave mechanics
Michael V Berry,K.E. Mount +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of various methods of deriving expressions for quantum-mechanical quantities in the limit when hslash is small (in comparison with the relevant classical action functions) is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Level Clustering in the Regular Spectrum
Michael V Berry,Michael Tabor +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the classical limit of the distribution P(S) of spacings between adjacent levels, using a scaling transformation to remove the irrelevant effects of the varying local mean level density, was studied.
