  Pancharatnam phase was discovered in the context of polarization optics in
nineteen fifties. However, its full realization in quantum many-body systems
still eludes us. This is primarily due to the fact that electron spin is not
easily tunable. In the present proposal, we suggest that edge states of quantum
spin Hall effect (QSHE) in conjunction with spin polarized electrodes (SPE)
provide us with a unique opportunity to explore the Pancharatnam phase. We
demonstrate the possibility of generating and detecting the multi-electron
version of this phase that can as well be interpreted as multi-particle
Aharonov-Bohm (A-B) effect in spin space arising solely due to spin dynamics.
We further show that our proposed set-up leads to a robust interference pattern
which survives orbital dephasing.
