Description

Geometric phase, for a two-level atom in an electromagnetic field interacting with a squeezed-vacuum reservoir, is calculated by establishing connecting density matrices, describing an evolution of a quantum open system, with a nonunit vector ray in a complex projective Hilbert space. Because the geometric phase depends only on the smooth curve on this space, it is formulated entirely in terms of geometric structures. The results show that the geometric phase for the squeezed-vacuum reservoir has fully different behavior in comparison with one for the normal vacuum reservoir
