Quantum Are there any good books on Geometric Phases in Quantum Mechanics?

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for books on geometric phases, particularly Berry's phase, include "The Geometric Phase in Quantum Systems" by A. Bohm et al., which provides a comprehensive overview. Another suggested title is "Geometric Phases" by Shapere and Wilczek, noted for its relevance to the topic. Additionally, a mention of a book by Talman was made, although the exact title wasn't confirmed. The discussion highlights the interest in geometric mechanics, even if it diverges from the primary focus on Berry's phase.

Hello!
I would really appreciate it if somebody could recommend to me any books on geometric phases especially on Berry's phase.
Thanks!

I remember a book by Talman, I think it was called geometric phases

It's geometrical mechanics! It seems like a very interesting book even though it's not what I am interested in at the moment! Thanks
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
TLDR: is Blennow "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" a good follow-up to Altland "Mathematics for physicists"? Hello everybody, returning to physics after 30-something years, I felt the need to brush up my maths first. It took me 6 months and I'm currently more than half way through the Altland "Mathematics for physicists" book, covering the math for undergraduate studies at the right level of sophystication, most of which I howewer already knew (being an aerospace engineer)...
