The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect in non-commutative quantum mechanics (NCQM) is studied. First, by introducing a shift for the magnetic vector potential we give the Schr
ddotodinger equations in the presence of a magnetic field on NC space and NC phase space, respectively. Then by solving the Schr
ddotodinger equations, we obtain the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) phase on NC space and NC phase space, respectively.
"It is a known fact that there is no magnetic field outside an infinite solenoid carrying a constant current, althoughthere is magnetic vector potential non-null outside it. The existence of the Aharonov-Bohm effect (AB) is usuallyconsidered as proof of the relevance of the vector potential for quantum mechanics. In this paper we will see that thereis a non null electric field outside an infinite resistive solenoid carrying a constant current and its possible relevanceto the analysis of the Aharonov-Bohm effect. When calculating, we introduce the Galilean invariance of Maxwell´sequations and then we obtain the contribution to the AB effect due to electric potential."
