Kirchhoff diffraction optics and the nascent Aharonov–Bohm effect: a theorem

J H Hannay

Textbook diffraction optics, Kirchhoff diffraction, is connected to the Aharonov–Bohm effect of quantum mechanics by an easy theorem proved here. The connection is between the Kirchhoff wave field and the Aharonov–Bohm quantum wave field in the limit of zero flux: the 'nascent' Aharonov–Bohm effect. The diffracting opaque screen of Kirchhoff optics is replaced in the quantum mechanics by a magnetic flux line, or loop, in the shape of the boundary edge of the screen. The gauge must be chosen appropriately: a delta function on that surface, spanning the boundary edge, which matches the screen.

Asymmetry of the Aharonov-Bohm diffraction pattern and Ehrenfest’s theorem

Donald H. Kobe, Valdir C. Aguilera-Navarro, Regina Maria Ricotta

The electron-diffraction pattern for two slits with magnetic flux confined to an inaccessible region between them is calculated. The Aharonov-Bohm effect gives a diffraction pattern that is asymmetric but has a symmetric envelope. In general, both the expected displacement and the kinetic momentum of the electron are nonzero as a consequence of the asymmetry. Nevertheless, Ehrenfest's theorems and the conservation of momentum are satisfied.
