AharonovBohmefekti

AharonovBohmefekti is a neologism that appears in some online discussions and speculative writings as a generalized or fictional extension of the Aharonov–Bohm effect. The term blends the names of the original effect, which describes how charged particles acquire a measurable quantum phase from electromagnetic potentials in regions with vanishing fields, with an appended suffix that signals a broader or altered context. It is not an established term in mainstream physics literature.

In the imagined framework of AharonovBohmefekti, researchers explore how quantum phases could arise not only from electromagnetic potentials but also from additional gauge structures, time-dependent configurations, or non-Abelian fields, and perhaps under different spacetime geometries. The idea would be to test the limits of gauge invariance and the primacy of potentials versus fields, while keeping the core AB intuition that potentials can influence observable interference.

Because AharonovBohmefekti is not part of standard terminology, references are typically limited to preprints, forum posts, or pedagogical expositions. As such, it serves mainly as a teaching device to illustrate how quantum systems respond to global features of potentials and how phase information encodes geometrical and topological properties. In formal literature, the established Aharonov–Bohm effect remains the canonical example.
