the definition of bulk electric polarization of a crystal as a Berry phase of occupied Bloch states, defined only modulo a polarization quantum.

In condensed matter physics, modern theory of polarization refers to the definition of bulk electric polarization of a crystal as a Berry phase of occupied Bloch states, defined only modulo a polarization quantum. This meaning comes from King-Smith (1993) in Physical Review B.[1]
