2 unusual facts about Aharonov–Bohm effect


Aharonov–Bohm effect

This behavior is similar to that of the superconducting quantum interference devices (see SQUID).

Composite fermion

More accurately, the vortices bound to electrons produce their own geometric phases which partly cancel the Aharonov–Bohm phase due to the external magnetic field to generate a net geometric phase that can be modeled as an Aharonov–Bohm phase in an effective magnetic field B^*.


Center for Quantum Studies

The Center was inaugurated on November 29, 2006, by Center Director Jeffrey Tollaksen in honor of the arrival of Yakir Aharonov, prior to the first of the Aharonov Lecture Series talks, which was given by William D. Phillips.
