We use a covariant formalism that is capable of describing the electric and magnetic versions of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, as well as the Aharonov-Casher effect, through local interactions of charges and currents with the quantum electromagnetic field. By considering that only local interactions of a quantum particle with the quantum field can affect its behavior, we show that the magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect must be present even if the solenoid generating the magnetic field is shielded by a perfect conductor, as experimentally demonstrated.

Aharonov-Casher 和带有量子电磁场的屏蔽 Aharonov-Bohm 效应

我们使用协变形式主义，它能够通过电荷和电流与量子电磁场的局部相互作用来描述 Aharonov-Bohm 效应的电和磁版本，以及 Aharonov-Casher 效应。通过考虑只有量子粒子与量子场的局部相互作用才能影响其行为，我们表明即使产生磁场的螺线管被完美导体屏蔽，磁性 Aharonov-Bohm 效应也必须存在，如实验所证明的那样。
