• Authors: Akshat Pandey,
• Abstract summary: We show that the Aharonov-Bohm effect in principle has nothing to do with quantum-mechanics. We then discuss how this classical field description can be connected to the standard one particle quantum description of the Aharonov-Bohm effect.

• Abstract: We study the recent gravitational analogue of the Aharonov-Bohm effect for a classical system, namely a complex scalar field. We use this example to demonstrate that the Aharonov-Bohm effect in principle has nothing to do with quantum-mechanics. We then discuss how this classical field description can be connected to the standard one particle quantum description of the Aharonov-Bohm effect.

  We study the celebrated virial theorem for dissipative systems, both classical and quantum. The non-Markovian nature of the quantum noise leads to novel bath-induced terms in the virial theorem. We also consider the case of an electrical circuit with thermal noise and analyze the role of non-Markovian noise in the context of the virial theorem.

• Aharonov-Bohm effect in phase space [0.0]
  We characterize for the first time the Aharonov-Bohm effect within two different formalisms of quantum mechanics. The aim is to obtain a consistent description of the quantum system by means of the quasiprobability Wigner function. We study the Aharonov-Bohm effect within them for two specific cases: One determined by a non-zero electric potential, and another determined by a non-zero magnetic vector potential.

We show control over the size and phase of the superposition and investigate the decoherence dynamics of these states.

  We study the contribution of a uniform weak magnetic field on their dynamics. We are able to recover the splitting of the energy levels of the atom called Zeeman's effect. Our work, based on the old double solution' theory of de Broglie, shows that a dualistic model involving a particle guided by a scalar field can reproduce the normal Zeeman effect.

• Quantum Mechanical description of Bell's experiment assumes Locality [91.3755431537592]
  Bell's experiment description assumes the (Quantum Mechanics-language equivalent of the classical) condition of Locality. This result is complementary to a recently published one demonstrating that non-Locality is necessary to describe said experiment. It is concluded that, within the framework of Quantum Mechanics, there is absolutely no reason to believe in the existence of non-Local effects.
