A subjective and incomplete list of interesting and unique features of the deconfinement phase transition is presented. Furthermore a formal similarity of the density matrix of the Aharonov-Bohm system and QCD is mentioned, as well.

Aharonov and Reznik have recently argued that the form of the probabilistic predictions of quantum theory can be seen to follow from properties of macroscopic systems. An error in their argument is identified .

The path integral for relativistic three-dimensional spinless Aharonov-Bohm-Coulomb system is solved, and the energy spectra are extracted from the resulting amplitude. PACS: 03.20.+i; 04.20.Fy; 02.40.+m ∗e-mail:[email protected]

Few physical systems with topologies more complicated than simple gaussian linking have been explored in detail. Here we focus on examples with higher topologies in non-relativistic quantum mechanics and in QCD. 1 Generalized Aharonov-Bohm and Josephson effects Topology has played an important role in physics in recent years, but unlike in biology, most work done so far has involved the simples...

– In this letter we investigate the quantum dynamics of a quasiparticle in the presence of a charged screw dislocation submitted to a uniform magnetic field. Analysing the quantum scattering for this quasiparticle we observed the appearance of a topological quantum phase in the solution and demonstrate that this phenomenon is the solid state analog of the He-McKeller-Wilkens effect. Aharonov an...

We study a multi-functional device for cold atoms consisting of three-terminal ring circuit pierced by synthetic magnetic flux, where the can be continuous or discretized. The flux controls atomic current through via Aharonov-Bohm effect. Our shows flux-induced transition reflections from an Andreev-like negative density to positive density. Further, direct into specific output ports, realizing...
