The geometric phase can be used as a fruitful venue of investigation to inferfeatures of the quantum systems. Its application can reach new theoreticalfrontiers and imply innovative and challenging experimental proposals. Herein,we take advantage of the geometric phase to sense the corrections induced whilea neutral particle travels at constant velocity in front of an imperfect sheetin quantum vacuum. As it is already known, two bodies in relative motion atconstant velocity experience a quantum contactless dissipative force, known asquantum friction. This force has eluded experimental detection so far due toits small magnitude and short range. However, we give details of an innovativeexperiment designed to track traces of the quantum friction by measuring thevelocity dependence of corrections to the geometric phase. We notice that theenvironmentally induced corrections can be decomposed in differentcontributions: corrections induced by the presence of the dielectric sheet andthe motion of the particle in quantum vacuum. As the geometric phaseaccumulates over time, its correction becomes relevant at a relative shorttimescale, while the system still preserves purity. The experimentally viablescheme presented would be the first one in tracking traces of quantum frictionthrough the study of decoherence effects on a NV center in diamond.
