摘要

By defining "a virtual gap" for the continuous spectrum through the notion of eigendifferential (Weyl's packet) and using the differential projector operator, we present a rigorous demonstration and discussion of the quantum adiabatic theorem for systems having a nondegenerate continuous spectrum. An explicit formula for a generalized geometrical phase is derived in terms of the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian. Examples are given for illustration.
