Phys. Rev. Lett. 52, 2111–2114 (1984)Appearance of Gauge Structure in Simple Dynamical SystemsReceived 9 April 1984; published in the issue dated 11 June 1984 Generalizing a construction of Berry and Simon, we show that non-Abelian gauge fields arise in the adiabatic development of simple quantum mechanical systems. Characteristics of the gauge fields are related to energy splittings, which may be observable in real systems. Similar phenomena are found for suitable classical systems. © 1984 The American Physical Society URL:
