Scalar Aharonov–Bohm Phase in Ramsey Atom Interferometry under Time-Varying Potential
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a Ramsey atom interferometer excited by two electromagnetic fields, if atoms are under a time-varying scalar potential during the interrogation time, the phase of the Ramsey fringes shifts owing to the scalar Aharonov–Bohm effect. The phase shift was precisely examined using a Ramsey atom interferometer with a two-photon Raman transition under the second-order Zeeman potential, and a formula for the phase shift was derived. Using the derived formula, the frequency shift due to the scalar Aharonov–Bohm effect in the frequency standards utilizing the Ramsey atom interferometer was discussed.

Testing Atom and Neutron Neutrality with Atom Interferometry
Introduction. Charge quantization and atom neutrality in the Standard Model (SM) are mysteries which are automatically solved when the theory is embedded in a Grand Unified group. Even then, Witten has shown [1] that in the presence of CP non-conservation magnetic monopoles acquire an electric charge that is proportional to the amount of CP violation, a non-quantized quantity. This suggests tha...
متن کاملMomentum-space Aharonov-Bohm interferometry in Rashba spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates
Since the recent experimental realization of synthetic Rashba spin-orbit coupling paved a new avenue for exploring and engineering topological phases in ultracold atoms, a precise, solid detection of Berry phase has been desired for unequivocal characterization of system topology. Here, we propose a scheme to conduct momentum-space Aharonov-Bohm interferometry in a Rashba spinorbit coupled Bose...
متن کاملForce-free gravitational redshift: proposed gravitational Aharonov-Bohm experiment.
We propose a feasible laboratory interferometry experiment with matter waves in a gravitational potential caused by a pair of artificial field-generating masses. It will demonstrate that the presence of these masses (and, for moving atoms, time dilation) induces a phase shift, even if it does not cause any classical force. The phase shift is identical to that produced by the gravitational redsh...
متن کاملComment on "Aharonov-Casher and scalar Aharonov-Bohm topological effects".
We reexamine the topological and nonlocal natures of the Aharonov-Casher and scalar Aharonov-Bohm phase effects. The underlying U(1) gauge structure is exhibited explicitly. And the conditions for developing topological Aharonov-Casher and scalar Aharonov-Bohm phases are clarified. We analyze the arguments of M. Peshkin and H. J. Lipkin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 2847 (1995)] in detail and show that...
متن کاملSolid State Analog for He - McKellar - Wilkens Quantum Phase
– In this letter we investigate the quantum dynamics of a quasiparticle in the presence of a charged screw dislocation submitted to a uniform magnetic field. Analysing the quantum scattering for this quasiparticle we observed the appearance of a topological quantum phase in the solution and demonstrate that this phenomenon is the solid state analog of the He-McKeller-Wilkens effect. Aharonov an...
