Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 2023–2026 (1998)Quantum Measurement Backreaction and Induced Topological PhasesReceived 25 August 1997; published in the issue dated 9 March 1998 It is shown that a topological vector potential (Berry phase) is induced by the act of measuring angular momentum in a direction defined by a reference particle. This vector potential appears as a consequence of the backreaction due to the quantum measurement. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
