Conical intersections are linked to the energy of quantum systems. They can occur in any physical system characterized by both slow and fast degrees of freedom - such as e.g. the fast electrons and slow nuclei of a vibrating and rotating molecule - and are important when studying the evolution of quantum systems controlled by classical parameters. Furthermore, they play a relevant role for understanding the topological properties of condensed matter systems. Conical intersections are associated with many interesting features, such as a breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and the appearance of nontrivial artificial gauge structures, similar to the Aharonov-Bohm effect. Some applications presented in this book include - Molecular Systems: some molecules in nonlinear nuclear configurations undergo Jahn-Teller distortions under which the molecule lower their symmetry if the electronic states belong to a degenerate irreducible representation of the molecular point group. - Solid State Physics: different types of Berry phases associated with conical intersections can be used to detect topologically nontrivial states of matter, such as topological insulators, Weyl semi-metals, as well as Majorana fermions in superconductors. - Cold Atoms: the motion of cold atoms in slowly varying inhomogeneous laser fields is governed by artificial gauge fields that arise when averaging over the fast internal degrees of freedom of the atoms. These gauge fields can be Abelian or non-Abelian, which opens up the possibility to create analogs to various relativistic effects at low speed. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v965 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aSolid state physics 606 $aQuantum optics 606 $aChemistry, Physical and theoretical 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aSolid State Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25013 606 $aQuantum Optics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24050 606 $aTheoretical and Computational Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C25007 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aSolid state physics. 615 0$aQuantum optics. 615 0$aChemistry, Physical and theoretical. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aSolid State Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Optics. 615 24$aTheoretical and Computational Chemistry. 676 $a530.1435 700 $aLarson$b Jonas$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0890813 702 $aSjöqvist$b Erik$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aÖhberg$b Patrik$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373955703321 996 $aConical Intersections in Physics$91989907 997 $aUNINA
