Quantum phase for an electric quadrupole moment in noncommutative quantum mechanics.

We study the noncommutative nonrelativistic quantum dynamics of a neutral particle, which possesses an electric qaudrupole moment, in the presence of an external magnetic field. First, by introducing a shift for the magnetic field, we give the Schrödinger equations in the presence of an external magnetic field both on a noncommutative space and a noncommutative phase space, respectively. Then by solving the Schrödinger equations both on a noncommutative space and a noncommutative phase space, we obtain quantum phases of the electric quadrupole moment, respectively. We demonstrate that these phases are geometric and dispersive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
