Popis: Geometric phase is a key player in many areas of quantum science and technology. In this review article, we outline several foundational aspects of quantum geometric phases and their relations to classical geometric phases. We then discuss how the Aharonov-Bohm and Sagnac effects fit into this context. Moreover, we present a concise overview of technological applications of the latter, with special emphasis on gravitational sensing, like in gyroscopes and gravitational wave detectors.
