Gravitational analogue of the Aharonov-Casher effect.
نویسنده
چکیده
The gravitational interaction between a massive particle and a spinning particle in the weak-field limit is studied. We show that a system of a spinning point-like particle and a massive rod exhibit a topological effect analogous to the electromagnetic Aharonov-Casher effect. We discuss the effect also for systems with a cosmic string instead of a massive rod and in the context of 2+1-dimensional gravity. e-mail: [email protected]

Toroidal Solenoids in an Electromagnetic Field and Toroidal Aharonov - Casher Effect
Ahstract The quantum and classical equations are found which govern the motion of toroidal moments in an external magnetic field. The concrete realization of toroidal moments of higher multipolarities is given, and it is shown how the toroidal moments interact with each other. We recover the 3-dimensional analogue of the Aharonov-Casher effect. It turns out that the toroidal moments should exhi...
متن کاملQuantum transport and the electronic Aharonov-Casher effect.
%'e show that the effects of spin-orbit interaction in disordered conductors are manifestations of the Aharonov-Casher effect in the same sense as the effects of weak magnetic fields are manifestations of the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We propose that, in semiconducting samples, conductance oscillations should occur due to the Aharonov-Casher effect, whose observation would constitute a thousandfold...

In this work a new method is developed to investigate the Aharonov-Casher effect in a noncommutative space. It is shown that the holonomy receives non-trivial kinematical corrections. PACS numbers: 02.40.Gh, 03.65.Pm.
متن کاملTesting Bell’s inequality using Aharonov-Casher effect
We propose the Aharonov-Casher (AC) effect for four entangled spin-half particles carrying magnetic moments in the presence of impenetrable line charge. The four particle state undergoes AC phase shift in two causually disconnected region which can show up in the correlations between different spin states of distant particles. This correlation can violate Bell’s inequality, thus displaying the ...
متن کاملTowards a quantum Hall effect for atoms using electric fields
An atomic analogue of Landau quantization based on the Aharonov-Casher (AC) interaction is developed. The effect provides a first step towards an atomic quantum Hall system using electric fields, which may be realized in a Bose-Einstein condensate.
