and Q A = 0 bohr. Although the numerical calculations are done in the diabatic
representation, in practice the wavepacket moves on the lower adiabatic surface
only.
The adiabatic wavepacket Θ 1 is shown as contour plots of the probability density
|Θ 1 (Q S , Q A , t)|
2 . The purpose is to show the effect of the geometric phase, as
discussed in Sect. 5.4.3.
