* It acquires two phases shifts depending on the evolution. The dynamical phase, $\theta_n(t)$, and the geometrical phase $\gamma_n(t)$. They are given as,
$$
\theta_n(t) = i \int_0^t E_n(t') \rangle dt', \quad \gamma_n(t) = i \int_0^t \langle{\psi_n| \dot\psi_n} \rangle dt'.
\theta_n(t) = -\frac{1}{\hbar} \int_0^t E_n(t') \rangle dt', \quad \gamma_n(t) = i \int_0^t \langle{\psi_n| \dot\psi_n} \rangle dt'.
$$
In order for this description to hold, we require that the system evolves slowly enough. That is, the following condition must be satisfied at all times:
$$
\frac{\hbar \overline{\langle \psi_n | \dot H |\psi_m\rangle} }{\overline{E_n - E_m}^2} << 1, \quad n \neq m.
