Classical adiabatic angles and quantal adiabatic phase

A semiclassical connection IS established between quantal and classical properties of a system whose Hamiltonian is slowly cycled by varying its parameters round a circuit. The quantal property is a geometrical phase shift y, , associated with an eigenstate with quantum numbers n = n,: the classical property is a shift A@, (I) in the Ith angle variable for motion round a phase-space torus with actions I =I, ; the connection is At? , =-icy/dn,. Two applications are worked out in detail: the generalised harmonic oscillator, with quadratic Hamiltonian whose parameters are the coefficients of q2, qp and p; and the rotated rotator, consisting of a particle sliding freely round a non-circular hoop slowly turned round once in its own plane.
