Separating a particle's mass from its momentum
Mordecai Waegell, Jeff Tollaksen, Yakir Aharonov
The Quantum Cheshire Cat experiment showed that when weak measurements are performed on pre- and post-selected system, the counterintuitive result has been obtained that a neutron…
Super-phenomena in arbitrary quantum observables
Andrew N. Jordan, Yakir Aharonov, Daniele C. Struppa +6
Superoscillations occur when a globally band-limited function locally oscillates faster than its highest Fourier coefficient. We generalize this effect to arbitrary quantum mechani…
Quantum reality with negative-mass particles
Mordecai Waegell, Eliahu Cohen, Avshalom Elitzur +2
Physical interpretations of the time-symmetric formulation of quantum mechanics, due to Aharonov, Bergmann, and Lebowitz are discussed in terms of weak values. The most direct, yet…
Aharonov-Bohm effect with an effective complex-valued vector potential
Ismael L. Paiva, Yakir Aharonov, Jeff Tollaksen +1
The interaction between a quantum charge and a dynamic source of a magnetic field is considered in the Aharonov-Bohm scenario. It is shown that, in weak interactions with a post-se…
Magnetic forces in the absence of a classical magnetic field
Ismael L. Paiva, Yakir Aharonov, Jeff Tollaksen +1
It is shown that, in some cases, the effect of discrete distributions of flux lines in quantum mechanics can be associated with the effect of continuous distributions of magnetic f…
Topological bound states for quantum charges
Ismael L. Paiva, Yakir Aharonov, Jeff Tollaksen +1
We discuss how, in appropriately designed configurations, solenoids carrying a semifluxon can be used as topological energy barriers for charged quantum systems. We interpret this…
