Abstract

It is pointed out that there is no connection between gauge invariance and localizability in electromagnetic theory such as that discussed by Aharonov and Bohm.Received 7 October 1963DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRev.133.B1351©1964 American Physical Society

Comment On ‘Lorentz-Invariance and Gauge-Invariance of the Aharonov–Bohm Phase’

P. Enders, permanent address: Ahornallee 11, D-15712 Königs Wusterhausen, Germany

I present an axiomatic foundation of non-integrable phases of quantum wave functions like the Aharonov–Bohm phase and show the gauge invariance of the phase difference in the Aharonov–Bohm setup in a much simpler manner than in that article by Kholmetskii et al

On the paper 'Role of potentials in the Aharonov-Bohm effect'

Alexander Stewart

When the magnetic vector potential is expressed in terms of the magnetic field it, is found to be explicitly non-local in space. This gives support to the conclusions of Aharonov et al. in a recent comment, that the Aharonov-Bohm effect may be interpreted as being either due to a local gauge potential or else due to non-local gauge-invariant fields but not due to local gauge-invariant fields.

Aharonov-Bohm effect and gauge invariance

Michel Bawin, André Burnel

The authors study the Aharonov-Bohm effect in a gauge for which the vector potential vanishes wherever the magnetic field does. They then show how gauge invariance implies the existence of Aharonov-Bohm scattering and excludes solutions recently discussed in the literature.

Comments on "Observation of Lamb Shifts by Quantum Beats"

It is pointed out that the effect recently observed by Hadeishi is related to the differential damping of excited levels, and is to be distinguished from "beat" phenomena.Received 16 October 1968DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRev.178.429©1969 American Physical Society
