Description
This project aims to perform direct measurements of non-Abelian geometric phases experienced by individual spins moving in materials with strong spin-orbit interaction. We will develop an experiment where single holes are displaced along closed loops inside 2D arrays of quantum dots in germanium at zero magnetic field. By studying the evolution of their spin states depending on the trajectory followed, we will evidence the non-Abelian geometric phases, study their properties and investigate their potential for quantum information processing.
