dc.description.abstract	It is shown that Berry's phase appears in a more general context than realized so far. The evolution of the quantum system need be neither unitary nor cyclic and may be interrupted by quantum measurements. A key ingredient in this generalization is the use of some ideas introduced by Pancharatnam in his study of the interference of polarized light, which, when carried over to quantum mechanics, allow a meaningful comparison of the phase between any two nonorthogonal vectors in Hilbert space.	en
