Berry-Phase-Induced Chirality in Thermodynamics

Yu-Han Ma, Zhaoyu Fei

Berry phase produces a chiral work difference in open quantum systems that persists after decoherence.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Developing a dissipative adiabatic perturbation expansion, we discover a Berry-phase-induced chiral work difference that survives decoherence.

C2weakest assumption

The dissipative adiabatic perturbation expansion remains valid and captures the leading-order chiral contribution when decoherence is present.

C3one line summary

Berry-phase-induced chiral work difference survives decoherence, evolving from an interferometric Aharonov-Bohm-like effect in unitary systems to a fringe-free signal in dissipative regimes.
