We identify an acoustic process in which the conversion of angular momentum between its spin and orbital form takes place. The interaction between an evanescent wave propagating at the interface of two immiscible fluids and an isolated…
For a believer in locality of Nature, the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the Aharonov-Casher effect are paradoxes. I discuss these and other Aharonov's paradoxes and propose a local explanation of these effects. If the solenoid in the…
We introduce a matter wave interference scheme based on the quantization of orbital angular momentum in a ring trap. It operates without beam splitters, is sensitive to geometric phases induced by external gauge fields, and allows measuring…
Gaussian linking of a semiclassical path of a charged particle with a magnetic flux tube is responsible for the Aharonov-Bohm effect, where one observes interference proportional to the magnitude of the enclosed flux. We construct quantum…
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…
We examine the momentum and angular-momentum (AM) properties of monochromatic optical fields in dispersive and inhomogeneous isotropic media, using the Abraham- and Minkowski-type approaches, as well as the kinetic (Poynting-like) and…
We present an application of the affine covariant integral quantization (ACIQ) (Adv. Oper. Theory, 5, 2020; Adv. Oper. Theory, 7, 2022) to quantum mechanics on the punctured plane. The associated four-dimensional phase space is identified…
The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interference patterns in ring-shaped conductors are usually dominated by random features. The amplitude of the oscillations is random from sample to sample and from point to point on the magnetic field axis owing to…
In the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect, a superposed charge acquires a detectable phase by enclosing an infinite solenoid, in a region where the solenoid's electric and magnetic fields are zero. Its generation seems therefore explainable only by…
We theoretically analyze the effect of electron-electron interactions on Aharonov-Bohm (AB) current oscillations in ring-shaped systems with metallic quantum dots pierced by external magnetic field. We demonstrate that electron-electron…
To elucidate the origin of spin structure-driven anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in pyrochlore compounds, we construct the $t_{2g}$-orbital kagome lattice model and analyze the anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC). We reveal that a conduction…
A quaternionic commutator bracket for position and momentum shows that the quaternionic wave function, \emph{viz.} $\widetilde{\psi}=(\frac{i}{c}\,\psi_0\,,\vec{\psi})$, represents a state of a particle with orbital angular momentum,…
Multi-terminal Aharonov-Bohm (AB) rings are ideal building blocks for quantum networks (QNs) thanks to their ability to map input states into controlled coherent superpositions of output states. We report on experiments performed on…
We study the Coulomb interaction-induced Aharonov-Bohm (AB) oscillations in the linear response transport through a remote quantum dot which has no tunnel coupling but has Coulomb coupling with the quantum dot embedded in an AB…
The angular momentum (partial wave) reduction of the Lippmann--Schwinger equation describing the interaction of two spin 1/2 particles is extended to the case in which the spin singlet and triplet states are coupled. A straight forward…
As is well known that the distribution of the scattered radiation generated by an anisotropic scatterer usually lacks rotational symmetry about the direction of incidence due to the spatial anisotropy of the scatterer itself. Here we show…
We study the quantum interference effect for the single ballistic Aharonov-Bohm billiard in the presence of a weak magnetic field B. The diagonal part of the wave-number averaged reflection coefficient $\delta {\cal R}_D$ is calculated by…
In systems with the spin-charge separation, the period of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) oscillation becomes half of the flux quantum. This effect is at least related to the fact that for the creation of the holons (spinons) are needed two…
As a consequence of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, there is a quantum-induced attraction between a charged particle and a rigid, impenetrable hoop made from an arbitrarily thin tube containing a superconductor quantum of magnetic flux. This is…
We demonstrate operation of a small Fabry-Perot interferometer in which highly coherent Aharonov-Bohm oscillations are observed in the integer and fractional quantum Hall regimes. Using a novel heterostructure design, Coulomb effects are…
