Starting with the overall wave function expression for the electron in an Aharonov-Bohm potential, we derive a version of the Kuramoto Model describing the phase dynamics of the bound state of the quantum mechanical system.

There is a consensus today that the the main lesson of the Aharonov-Bohm effect is that a picture of electromagnetism based on the local action of the field strengths is not possible in quantum mechanics. Contrary to this statement it is…
