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…
Are There Dynamical Laws?
Jeeva S. Anandan
The nature of a physical law is examined, and it is suggested that there may not be any fundamental dynamical laws. This explains the intrinsic indeterminism of quantum theory. The…
Meaning of the Density Matrix
Y. Aharonov, J. Anandan
Protective measurement, which was proposed as a method of observing the wavefunction of a single system, is extended to the observation of the density matrix of a single system. d'…
