Schrdinger Equation of a Particle on a Rotating Curved Surface

We derive the Schrdinger equation of a particle constrained to move on a rotating curved surface S.Using the thin-layer quantization scheme to confine the particle on S,and with a proper choice of gauge transformation for the wave function,we obtain the well-known geometric potential V_g and an additive Coriolis-induced geometric potential in the co-rotational curvilinear coordinates.This novel effective potential,which is included in the surface Schrdinger equation and is coupled with the mean curvature of S,contains an imaginary part in the general case which gives rise to a non-Hermitian surface Hamiltonian.We find that the non-Hermitian term vanishes when S is a minimal surface or a revolution surface which is axially symmetric around the rolling axis.
