In [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 080502 (2005)], Zheng proposed a scheme for implementing a conditional phase shift via adiabatic passages. The author claims that the gate is "neither of dynamical nor geometric origin" on the grounds that the Hamiltonian does not follow a cyclic change. He further argues that "in comparison with the adiabatic geometric gates, the nontrivial cyclic loop is unnecessary, and thus the errors in obtaining the required solid angle are avoided, which makes this new kind of phase gates superior to the geometric gates." In this Comment, we point out that geometric operations, including adiabatic holonomies, can be induced by noncyclic Hamiltonians, and show that Zheng's gate is geometric. We also argue that the nontrivial loop responsible for the phase shift is there, and it requires the same precision as in any adiabatic geometric gate.
