A detailed description of the tunneling processes within Aharonov-Bohm (AB) rings containing two-dimensional quantum dots is presented. We show that the electronic propagation through the interferometer is controlled by the spectral…
The Aharonov-Bohm effect has been invoked to probe the phase structure of a gauge theory. Yet in the case of non-Abelian gauge theories, it proves difficult to formulate a general procedure that unambiguously specifies the realization of…
We analyze interference phenomena in the quantum-Hall analog of the Fabry-Perot interferometer, exploring the roles of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, Coulomb interactions, and fractional statistics on the oscillations of the resistance as one…
We present a reformulation of quantum adiabatic theory in terms of an emergent electromagnetic framework, emphasizing the physical consequences of geometric structures in parameter space. Contrary to conventional approaches, we demonstrate…
Aharonov-Bohm effect is a quantum mechanical phenomenon that attracted the attention of many physicists and mathematicians since the publication of the seminal paper of Aharonov and Bohm [1] in 1959. We consider different types of…
We investigate ballistic transport and quantum interference in a nanoscale quantum wire loop fab-ricated as a GaAs/AlGaAs field-effect heterostructure. Four-terminal measurements of current and voltage characteristics as a function of top…
I address the view that the classical electromagnetic potentials are shown by the Aharonov-Bohm effect to be physically real (which I dub: 'the potentials view'). I give a historico-philosophical presentation of this view and assess its…
We consider area-preserving deformations of the plane, acting on electronic wavefunctions through "quantomorphisms" that change both the underlying metric and the confining potential. We show that adiabatic sequences of such transformations…
We analyse the conductance of the Aharonov - Bohm (AB) one- dimensional quantum ring touching a quantum wire. The period of the AB oscillations is shown to be dependent strongly on the chemical potential and the Rashba coupling parameter…
Gauge theories arise in physical systems displaying space-time local symmetries. They provide a powerful description of important realms of physics ranging from fundamental interactions, to statistical mechanics, condensed matter and more…
It has been suggested that the magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect can be interpreted equally well as being due to a phase shift associated with an electron in an interferometer enclosing a magnetic flux, or as a phase shift associated with the…
We discuss a formal and physical connection between the Bohm quantum potential and the scalar mode of the Aharonov-Bohm extension of electrodynamics. The analysis is motivated by the effective non-relativistic bosonic model recently…
Although the Aharonov-Bohm and related effects are familiar in solid state and high energy physics, the nonlocality of these effects has been questioned. Here we show, for the first time, that the Aharonov-Bohm effect has two very different…
We predict the force-free scalar Aharonov-Bohm effect of a Cooper pair box in an electric field at a distance without forming a closed path of the interfering charges. The superposition of different charge states plays a major role in…
The Aharonov-Bohm (A-B) effect showed that the phase of electron wave pattern could be changed by the excluded electromagnetic field, the region where electromagnetic field is zero. This apparent non-local effect has been explained by…
The conventional formulation of the non-adiabatic (Aharonov-Anandan) phase is based on the equivalence class $\{e^{i\alpha(t)}\psi(t,\vec{x})\}$ which is not a symmetry of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation. This equivalence class when understood…
A solvable molecular collision model that predicts Aharonov-Bohm (AB) like scattering in the adiabatic approximation is introduced. For it, we propagate coupled channel wave packets without resorting to a Born-Oppenheimer (BO)…
We discuss what happens when a field receiving an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) phase develops a vacuum expectation value (VEV), with an example of an Alice string in a $U(1) \times SU(2)$ gauge theory coupled with complex triplet scalar fields. We…
We show that the Aharonov-Bohm effect finds a natural description in the setting of QFT on curved spacetimes in terms of superselection sectors of local observables. The extension of the analysis of superselection sectors from Minkowski…
We investigate the scattering of a charged quantum particle in a helically twisted background that induces an effective Coulomb-like interaction, in the presence of an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) flux. Starting from the nonrelativistic Schr\"odinger…
