We demonstrate a controlled phase change of p in a degenerate superposition by altering a laser frequency by only 10 MHz. The method relies on the preparation of an adiabatic state involving the M = Β±2 and M = 0 states of the 3 P 2 (J = 2) level of metastable neon. Dependent on the frequency, the pr
