QED θ角的物理后果

Physical consequences of the QED theta angle

Stephen D. H. Hsu

摘要:

我们描述了一个简单的gedanken实验,它说明了QED θ角的物理效应,这是一个尚未被测量的自然界的基本参数。这些效应表现在量子相位中,类似于阿哈罗诺夫-玻姆效应中的量子相位,尽管它们本质上不是拓扑的。我们还利用泛函薛定谔方法导出了量子相位,并将结果推广到非阿贝尔规范理论。

英文摘要:

We describe a simple gedanken experiment which illustrates the physical effects of the QED theta angle, a fundamental parameter of Nature that has yet to be measured. The effects are manifest in quantum phases analogous to those in the Aharonov-Bohm effect, although they are not intrinsically topological. We also derive the quantum phases using a functional Schrodinger approach, and generalize the results to non-Abelian gauge theories.
