- Title: The quantum phase of a dyon
- Authors: Ricardo Heras
- Abstract summary: When a dyon encircles an infinitely-long enclosing uniform electric and magnetic fields, its wave function accumulates a duality-invariant quantum phase.
We show how its duality symmetry unifies the Aharonov-Bohm phase with its dual phase.
We argue that a spin 1/2 dyon has electric and magnetic moments, the former being greater than the latter because of the Schwinger-Zwanziger quantisation condition.

- Abstract: When a dyon encircles an infinitely-long solenoid enclosing uniform electric
and magnetic fields, its wave function accumulates a duality-invariant quantum
phase, which is topological because it depends on a winding number and is
nonlocal because the enclosed fields act on the dyon in regions where these
fields vanish. Here, we derive this dyon phase and show how its duality
symmetry unifies the Aharonov-Bohm phase with its dual phase. We obtain the
energy levels, the two-slit interference shift, and the scattering amplitude
associated with the duality-invariant quantum phase. Assuming that the dyon has
spin 1/2, we show that this spin does not affect the introduced phase. We argue
that a spin 1/2 dyon has electric and magnetic moments, the former being
greater than the latter because of the Schwinger-Zwanziger quantisation
condition.

In this study, we investigate the decoherence of a spatially superposed electrically neutral spin-$frac12$ particle in the presence of a quantum electromagnetic field in Minkowski spacetime.
We demonstrate that decoherence due to the spin-magnetic field coupling can be categorized into two distinct factors: local decoherence, originating from the two-point correlation functions along each branch of the superposed trajectories, and nonlocal decoherence, which arises from the correlation functions between the two superposed trajectories.

Our analysis reveals that the interaction between the particle and the current induces a non-zero toroidal dipole in the particle's stationary states.

We argue that classical electrodynamics can predict nonlocal effects by showing an example of a topological and nonlocal electromagnetic angular momentum.
We unify both angular momenta by means of the electromagnetic angular momentum arising in the configuration formed by a dyon encircling an infinitely-long dual solenoid.
We verify that this duality-invariant electromagnetic angular momentum is insensitive to the radiative effects of the Li'enard-Wiechert fields of the encircling dyon.

We study the time evolution of spin squeezing in the one-dimensional spin-1/2 XY model subject to a sudden quantum quench of a transverse magnetic field.
Our analysis, based on exact results for the model, reveals that by a proper choice of protocol, a quantum quench from an unsqueezed state can create spin squeezed nonequilibrium states.

We analyze the zero-temperature magnetic instabilities of two-valley semiconductors with SOI, in-plane magnetic field, and electron-electron interaction.
The interplay of an applied in-plane magnetic field and the SOI results in non-collinear spin quantization in different valleys.
The phase transitions can be tuned externally by electrostatic gates or by the in-plane magnetic field.

We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
