The Department of Physics & Astronomy Colloquium Speaker Series presents "The time-independent and time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm Effect" with Dr. Douglas Singleton, Physics Department, Fresno State University.
Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2021 3-4:15 p.m.
****Please note that this is being held on a different day and time than the usual talks****
ONLINE ZOOM: https://uleth.zoom.us/j/99069795964
The canonical example of the Aharonov-Bohm effect is the measurable phase shift that occurs when an electric charge moves in the exterior region of an infinite solenoid, where the magnetic field is zero, but the vector potential is not. This effect is the importance of the potentials versus fields in quantum systems and involves the mathematical idea of non-simply connected topologies. This talk will review the standard Aharonon-Bohnm effect as well as other related effects, i.e. Aharonov-Casher effect and the time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm effect.
This event is FREE & everyone is welcome.
