Abstract

The adiabatic theorem is one of the most interesting and significant theorem in quantum mechanics. In 1950, T. Kato gave an elegant proof of this result [1]. However, the validation of adiabatic theorem for non-Hermitian quantum systems is unrevealed. In this paper, by following Kato' approach, we prove rigorously that the adiabatic theorem is still valid for non-Hermitian systems with non-degenerate real eigenvalues. Moreover, our proof utilizes the complex Berry phase, instead of the orthogonal projections used in Kato's work.
