Quantized Roentgen Effect in Bose-Einstein Condensates

TL;DR

This paper explores the quantum analog of the Roentgen effect in Bose-Einstein condensates, revealing that vortices produce quantized monopole-like magnetic fields rather than classical magnetization.

Contribution

It introduces the concept of quantized monopoles arising from vortices in quantum dielectrics, extending classical electromagnetic effects into quantum regimes.

Findings

Vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates generate quantized magnetic monopole fields.

Quantum dielectrics do not produce classical magnetization outside vortices.

The magnetic field outside the quantum dielectric is characterized by quantized monopoles.

Abstract

A classical dielectric moving in a charged capacitor can create a magnetic field (Roentgen effect). A quantum dielectric, however, will not produce a magnetization, except at vortices. The magnetic field outside the quantum dielectric appears as the field of quantized monopoles.
