Geometric quantum manipulation and Landau-Zener interferometry have been separately explored in
many quantum systems. In this Letter, we combine these two approaches to study the dynamics of a superconducting
phase qubit. We experimentally demonstrate Landau-Zener interferometry based on the pure
geometric phases in this solid-state qubit. We observe the interference caused by a pure geometric phase
accumulated in the evolution between two consecutive Landau-Zener transitions, while the dynamical
phase is canceled out by a spin-echo pulse. The full controllability of the qubit state as a function of
the intrinsically robust geometric phase provides a promising approach for quantum state manipulation.
