Abstract

In this contribution, we discuss the He–McKellar–Wilkens effect and the scalar Aharonov–Bohm effect for neutral particles based on the Lorentz symmetry violation background, by showing that the background of the Lorentz symmetry violation yields Abelian quantum phases for a neutral particle. We also study the non-relativistic bound states for a neutral particle interacting with a Coulomb-like potential based on the Lorentz symmetry violation background given by a fixed vector field parallel to the radial direction.

He–McKellar–Wilkens-type effect, quantum holonomies and Aharonov–Bohm-type effect for bound states from the Lorentz symmetry breaking effects

A. G. de Lima, H. Belich, K. Bakke

From the effects of the Lorentz symmetry violation in the CPT-even gauge sector of the Standard Model Extension determined by a tensor background [Formula: see text], we establish a possible scenario where an analogue of the He–McKellar–Wilkens effect can stem from. Besides, we build quantum holonomies associated with the analogue of the He–McKellar–Wilkens effect and discuss a possible analogy with the geometric quantum computation. Finally, we investigate the dependence of the energy levels on the He–McKellar–Wilkens geometric phase induced by Lorentz symmetry breaking effects when the particle is confined to a hard-wall confining potential.

The geometric phases in a background with Lorentz-symmetry violation

Ribeiro, L. R., Eduardo Passos, Claudio Furtado +1 more

We analyze the nonrelativistic quantum dynamics of a single neutral spin half particle, with non-zero magnetic and electric dipole moments, moving in an external electromagnetic field in presence of Lorentz symmetry violation background. Also, we study the geometric phase for this model taking into account the parameter that breaks the Lorentz symmetry. We investigate the He-McKellar-Wilkens effect in this context and we verify that Lorentz violation parameter contribute to increase the electric dipole moment of the particle.

Aharonov–Casher effect and persistent spin currents in a Coulomb-type potential induced by Lorentz symmetry breaking effects

K. Bakke, H. Belich

Abstract We investigate quantum effects on a nonrelativistic neutral particle with a permanent magnetic dipole moment that interacts with an electric field. This neutral particle is also under the influence of a background that breaks the Lorentz symmetry. We focus on the Lorentz symmetry violation background determined by a space-like vector field. Then, we show that the effects of the violation of Lorentz symmetry can yield an attractive Coulomb-type potential. Furthermore, we obtain the bound state solutions to the Schrödinger–Pauli equation and show that the spectrum of energy is a function of the Aharonov–Casher geometric quantum phase. Finally, we discuss the arising of persistent spin currents.

Scalar Aharonov‐Bohm‐type effect induced by Lorentz symmetry breaking effects

A. G. de Lima, H. Belich, K. Bakke

A possible scenario of the Lorentz symmetry violation is discussed based on the arising of geometric quantum phases yielded by the effects of the Lorentz symmetry violation in the CPT‐even gauge sector of Standard Model Extension. Analogues of the Anandan quantum phase and the scalar Aharonov‐Bohm effect for a neutral particle [J. Anandan, Phys. Lett. A 138, 347 (1989)] are obtained from the parity‐odd sector of the tensor . Moreover, we build quantum holonomies associated with the analogue of the Anandan quantum phase and discuss a possible analogy with the geometric quantum computation [A. Ekert et al., J. Mod. Opt. 47, 2501 (2000)]. image

Effects of Lorentz symmetry violation on a spin-(1/2) neutral particle in a doubly anharmonic potential

A. S. Oliveira, K. Okada, H. Belich

Abstract We investigate the quantum dynamics of a spin-(1/2) neutral particle under the effects of Lorentz symmetry violation, characterized by a fixed time-like background vector and azimuthal electric fields added to the potential of a pure quartic oscillator. These effects, induced by the background vector that defines a preferred spacetime direction, modify the dynamics of the spin-(1/2) neutral particle and give rise to a doubly anharmonic oscillator-like potential. The main challenge is to find analytical solutions to the Schrödinger equation, considering that this nonlinear potential models realistic quantum physics scenarios. Finally, we obtain bound-state solutions in the nonrelativistic limit for the Schrödinger-Pauli equation of a spin-(1/2) neutral particle. An interesting quantum effect is observed: the constant associated with the pure quartic oscillator term is quantized, meaning it depends on the system's quantum numbers.

Missing He–McKellar–Wilkens geometric quantum phase

K. Bakke

We discuss the appearance of a missing geometric quantum phase from the interaction of the permanent electric dipole moment of a neutral particle with the magnetic field produced by a uniform distribution of the magnetic charges inside an infinitely long non-conductor cylinder with an inner radius r a . This geometric quantum phase is associated with the missing magnetic charge per unit length in a region with a cylindrical shape of radius r a and gives rise to an analogue of the He–McKellar–Wilkens geometric quantum phase. By searching for bound state solutions, we show that an Aharonov–Bohm-type effect arises from the influence of the missing geometric quantum phase on the eigenvalues of energy.
