The three-vertex geometric phase is defined by three quantum states, which generally form a three-state (qutrit) system. By changing one of the three constituent states, we observed two rapid increases in the three-vertex geometric phase. The observed variations are inherent in a three-state system and cannot be observed in a two-state system. We used a time-reversed two-photon interferometer to measure the geometric phase with much more intense signals than those of a typical two-photon interferometer.}, pages = {062118-1--062118-6}, title = {Observation of nonlinear variations in a three-vertex geometric phase in a two-photon polarization qutrit}, volume = {91}, year = {2015} }
