Abstract

We derive reciprocal integral relations between phases and amplitude moduli for a class of wave functions that are cyclically varying in time. The relations imply that changes of a certain kind (e.g. not arising from the dynamic phase) obligate changes in the other. Numerical results indicate the approximate validity of the relationships for arbitrarily (non-cyclically) varying states in the adiabatic (slowly changing) limit.
