Summary

Electron-interference phases respond to enclosed magnetic flux even when the electrons traverse regions with negligible magnetic field, testing the gauge-potential structure of quantum mechanics.

Electromagnetic four-potentialAharonov–Bohm interference experiments

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The measured phase depends on enclosed flux, represented by a Wilson-loop or line-integral phase of the potential.

How to interpret this relation type

The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The phase shift agrees with quantum minimal coupling and cannot be represented solely by the local magnetic field along the particle paths.
