Decades ago, Aharonov and Bohm showed that electrons are affected by electromagnetic potentials in the absence of forces due to fields. Zeilinger's theorem describes this absence of classical force in quantum terms as the "dispersionless"…
The point-particle-like Hamiltonian of a biaxial spin particle with external magnetic field along the hard axis is obtained in terms of the potential field description of spin systems with exact spin-coordinate correspondence. The Zeeman…
We have studied particle motion in generalized forms of noncommutative phase space, that simulate monopole and other forms of Berry curvature, that can be identified as effective internal magnetic fields, in coordinate and momentum space.…
An interference experiment in a magnetic field free region with non vanishing vector potential created by two perpendicularly intersecting planes carrying uniform currents is discussed. The relation of this configuration to the…
The role of the inert magnetic source used in the Tonomura experiment that has confirmed the magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect is discussed. For this purpose, an analysis of a thought experiment is carried out. Here the permanent magnet is…
The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect has been highly influential in fundamental and applied physics. Its topological nature commonly implies that an electron encircling a magnetic flux source in a field-free region must close the loop in order to…
The nonloclal exchange of the conserved, gauge invariant quantity $e^{\frac{i}{\hbar} (p_{k}-\frac{e}{c}A_{k})L^{k}}, L^{k}=const., k=1,2$ between the charged particle and the magnetic flux line (in the $k=3$ direction), is responsible for…
We propose a simple situation in which the magnetic Aharonov-Bohm potential influences the values of the deficiency indices of the initial Schr\"odinger operator, so determining whether the particle interacts with the solenoid or not. Even…
In the context of the vacuum polarization effect, we consider the backreaction of the energy-momentum tensor of a charged scalar field on the background metric of a cosmic string carrying a magnetic flux $\Phi$. Working within the…
We apply the coherent state approach to study Aharonov-Bohm effect in the field theory context. We verify that, contrarily to the commutative result, the scattering amplitude is ultraviolet finite. However, we have logarithmic singularities…
A powerful method of manipulating the dynamics of quantum coherent particles is to control the phase of their tunneling. We consider a system of two electrons hopping on a quasi one-dimensional lattice in the presence of a uniform magnetic…
This paper presents a hydrodynamical view of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, using Nelson's formulation of quantum mechanics. Our aim is to compare our results with other systems and gain a better understanding of the mysteries behind this…
Noncommutative phase space plays an essential role in particle physics and quantum gravity at the Planck scale. However, direct experimental evidence or observation to demonstrate the existence of noncommutative phase space is still…
The Aharonov-Bohm effect is investigated in two-dimensional, single-terminal quantum rings in magnetic fields by using time-dependent density-functional theory. We find multiple transport loops leading to the oscillation periods of h/(en),…
In this paper, we present a novel semi-classical theory of the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields and explain the nonlocality problem in the context of the Aharonov-Bohm effect [1]. Specifically, we show that the electrostatic and the…
In the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect, interference fringes are observed for a charged particle in the absence of the local overlap with the external electromagnetic field. This notion of the apparent nonlocality of the interaction or the…
The interaction between a quantum charge and a dynamic source of a magnetic field is considered in the Aharonov-Bohm scenario. It is shown that, in weak interactions with a post-selection of the source, the effective vector potential is,…
We apply time-dependent density-functional theory to study many-electron transport in Aharonov-Bohm interferometers in a non-equilibrium situation. The conductance properties in the system are complex and depend on the enclosed magnetic…
The situation of a charged particle passing down the symmetry axis through a magnetic toroid presents a relativity paradox; different inertial frames suggest different forces on the charge and on the toroid due to the unperturbed systems.…
In an earlier paper it was demonstrated that the hypothesized electrostatic version of the Aharonov-Bohm ("AB") effect does not exist. The conclusion follows straightforwardly once one recognizes that interference takes place in the…
