Quantum Mechanics in a Rotating Frame
Jeeva Anandan, Jun Suzuki
The rotating frame is considered in quantum mechanics on the basis of the position dependent boost relating this frame to the non rotating inertial frame. We derive the Sagnac phas…
Putting a Spin on the Aharonov-Bohm Oscillations
Jeeva Anandan
An experiment that shows the modulation of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations of magneto-resistance in a mesoscopic ring is described. Possible theoretical explanations of this modulat…
Symmetries, Quantum Geometry, and the Fundamental Interactions
Jeeva Anandan
A generalized Noether's theorem and the operational determination of a physical geometry in quantum physics are used to motivate a quantum geometry consisting of relations between…
Remarks on Cosmic Strings and Quantum Gravity
Jeeva S. Anandan
A quantum equivalence principle is formulated by means of a gravitational phase operator which is an element of the Poincare group. This is applied to the spinning cosmic string wh…
The Secret Life of the Dipole
Jeeva S. Anandan
A new force on the magnetic dipole, which exists in the presence of both electric and magnetic fields, is described. Its origin due to the `hidden momentum', implications and possi…
Quantum Measurement Problem and the Possible Role of the Gravitational Field
Jeeva Anandan
The quantum measurement problem and various unsuccessful attempts to resolve it are reviewed. A suggestion by Diosi and Penrose for the half life of the quantum superposition of tw…
