We demonstrate that the combination of an external magnetic field and the intrinsic spin-orbit interaction results in nonadiabatic precession of the electron spin after transmission through a quantum point contact (QPC). We suggest that this precession may be observed in a device consisting of two QPCs situated in series. The pattern of resonant peaks in the transmission is strongly influenced by the non-Abelian phase resulting from this precession. Moreover, an unusual type of resonance which is associated with suppressed, rather than enhanced, transmission (i.e., antiresonance) emerges in the strongly nonadiabatic regime. The shift in the resonant transmission peaks is dependent on the spin-orbit interaction and therefore offers a way to directly measure these interactions in a ballistic one-dimensional system.
