Abstract
Dynamic behaviour of Aharonov-Bohm-type electron interference in the presence of a nonclassical electromagnetic field is investigated. The visibility of the time-averaged interference pattern is discussed for SU(1,1) coherent state (CS) and a comparison with other states is made. It is shown that the dynamic behaviour of the electron interference exhibits collapse and revival (CR) phenomenon for SU(1,1) CS. It is also shown that CR phenomenon of electron interference is closely related to the fluctuation of a nonclassical electromagnetic field.
