Diffraction and quasiclassical limit of the Aharonov-Bohm effect
Diffraction and quasiclassical limit of the Aharonov-Bohm effect
Since the Aharonov-Bohm effect is the purely quantum effect that has no analogues in classical physics, its persistence in the quasiclassical limit seems to be hardly possible. Nevertheless, we show that the scattering Aharonov-Bohm effect does persist in the quasiclassical limit owing to the diffraction, i.e. the Fraunhofer diffraction in …
