Abstract
Tracing the neutron spin on its passage through a magnetic field which rotates at various frequencies it was possible to observe geometrically induced phase shifts of a quantum-mechanical state even for incomplete revolutions of this field. The experiments show that we can extract such purely geometric effects also from nonadiabatic evolutions.
