We demonstrate the existence of a non-local geometric phase in the intensity-intensity correlations of classical incoherent light, that is not seen in the lower order correlations. This two-photon Pancharatnam phase was observed and…

Reflection and transmission of electrons scattered by a rectangular potential step in the presence of an external magnetic field parallel to the electron beam is described with the use of the Dirac equation. It is shown that in addition to…

The Hartman effect for the tunneling particle implies the independence of group delay time on the opaque barrier width, with superluminal velocities as a consequence. This effect is further examined on a quantum ring geometry in the…

We discuss the quantum mechanics of particles of arbitrary statistics on an infinite cylinder with and without a magnetic field perpendicular to the surface. In the presence of a magnetic field, the translational symmetry along the cylinder…

We evaluate a zero-point quantum correction to a Belavin-Polyakov soliton in an isotropic 2D ferromagnet. By revising the scattering problem of quasi-particles by a soliton we show that it leads to the Aharonov-Bohm type of scattering,…

We investigate the gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect, by placing a quantum system in free-fall around a gravitating body {\it e.g.} a satellite orbiting the Earth. Since the system is in free-fall, by the equivalence principle, the quantum…

The physics in flat bands has emerged as an essential field in condensed matter physics where a plethora of phenomena can be unveiled, such as anomalous transport properties, superconductivity dominated by quantum geometry or exotic…

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…

The Schrodinger formalism of quantum mechanics is used to demonstrate the existence of the Aharonov-Bohm effect in momentum space and set-ups for experimentally demonstrating it are proposed for either free or ballistic electrons.

A device consisted of a set of circular rings, the centers of which lie on an axis, behaves like a solenoid when the ratio of its radius and distance between two successive rings is greater than one. As this ratio decreases, the device…

In type-I superconducting cylinders bulk superconductivity is destroyed above the first critical current. Below the second critical current the `type-I mixed state' displays fluctuation superconductivity which contributes to the total…

The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect was convincingly demonstrated using a micro-sized toroidal magnet but it is almost always explained using an infinitely-long solenoid or an infinitely-long flux line. The main reason for this is that the formal…

The Fraunhofer diffraction of quantum particles from materials with sharp electron-density edges or symmetric bond structures is ubiquitous. In contrast, diffraction from atoms with characteristic asymptotically-diffused electron…

The paraxial (parabolic) theory of a near forward scattering of a quantum charged particle by a static magnetic field is presented. From the paraxial solution to the Aharonov-Bohm scattering problem the transverse transfered momentum (the…

The optical exciton Aharonov-Bohm effect, i. e. an oscillatory component in the energy of optically active (bright) states, is investigated in nanorings. It is shown that a small effective electron mass, strong confinement of the electron,…

A single-mode microcavity with an embedded Aharonov-Bohm quantum ring, which is pierced by a magnetic flux and subjected to a lateral electric field, is studied theoretically. It is shown that external electric and magnetic fields provide…

We study the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect in two-dimensional mesoscopic frame in hole systems. We show that differing from the AB effect in electron systems, due to the presence of both the heavy hole and the light hole, the conductances not…

We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally a new electromagnetic lensing concept using the magnetic vector potential - in a region free of classical electromagnetic fields - via the Aharonov-Bohm effect. This toroid-shaped lens with…

We analyze a Hanbury Brown Twiss geometry in which particles are injected from two independent sources into a mesoscopic electrical conductor. The set-up has the property that all partial waves end in different reservoirs without generating…

We show theoretically that the strong coupling of circularly polarized photons to an exciton in ring-like semiconductor nanostructures results in physical nonequivalence of clockwise and counterclockwise exciton rotations in the ring. As a…
