Interaction between a moving electron and magnetic flux in Aharonov-Bohm effect

TL;DR

This paper analyzes the back-action of a moving electron on magnetic flux in the Aharonov-Bohm effect, emphasizing quantum principles and proposing an experiment to test the effect's dependence on back-action.

Contribution

It introduces a new interpretation of the Aharonov-Bohm effect consistent with quantum uncertainty and proposes an experimental scheme to verify the back-action influence.

Findings

Back-action is essential for the A-B effect to occur.

Zero back-action implies the absence of the A-B effect.

Proposed experiment aims to test the back-action's role in the effect.

Abstract

The back-action exerted by the moving electron on the magnetic flux in the A-B effect is analyzed. It is emphasized that a reasonable interpretation on the A-B effect should be consistent with the uncertain principle. If the back-action on the magnetic flux is reduced to zero, the A-B effect should not be observed, even through the vector potential still exists in space. To verify this interpretation, a new experimental scheme is proposed in this paper.
