Questions tagged [aharonov-bohm]
The Aharonov–Bohm effect is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which an electrically charged particle is affected by a non-zero electromagnetic gauge potential despite there being a zero electromagnetic field (in the region where the particle is allowed to propagate). This coupling results in the particle's wavefunction to gain a phase factor, and hence is most noticeable in interference experiments.
