AB and Berry phases for a quantum cloud of charge

arXiv:hep-th/9312131 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.73.918

Abstract

We investigate the phase accumulated by a charged particle in an extended quantum state as it encircles one or more magnetic fluxons, each carrying half a flux unit. A simple, essentially topological analysis reveals an interplay between the Aharonov-Bohm phase and Berry's phase.
