How to calculate the integral of a loop when the surface integrals of its curl are different in the area of different surface?
A certain field has a singularity at the origin, and the divergence of its curl is zero at any point outside the origin, but surface integral of the curl is not zero in the area of any closed surface containing the origin. So how should the Stokes theorem related to this field be expressed at this time?

I'm not sure to understand your question, but note that the Berry connection has zero component in the r direction. Hence for the surface you can be take the surface of a sphere of radius 1 (or whatever) and for the stokes theorem the path of the line integral can be taken to be lying also on the surface of the sphere.

Your question is strange to me since the Berry phase is usually presented first as a line integral of the Berry connection and then the Stokes theorem is invoked to express the holonomy as surface integral of the Berry curvature. So, first you have the loop in parameter space and then you can assign any surface with that loop as boundary to use in the surface integral.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In her YouTube video Bell’s Theorem Experiments on Entangled Photons, Dr. Fugate shows how polarization-entangled photons violate Bell’s inequality. In this Insight, I will use quantum information theory to explain why such entangled photon-polarization qubits violate the version of Bell’s inequality due to John Clauser, Michael Horne, Abner Shimony, and Richard Holt known as the...
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
I asked a question related to a table levitating but I am going to try to be specific about my question after one of the forum mentors stated I should make my question more specific (although I'm still not sure why one couldn't have asked if a table levitating is possible according to physics). Specifically, I am interested in knowing how much justification we have for an extreme low probability thermal fluctuation that results in a "miraculous" event compared to, say, a dice roll. Does a...
