Solid State Analog for He-McKellar-Wilkens Quantum Phase

In this letter we investigate the quantum dynamics of a quasiparticle in the presence of a charged screw dislocation submitted to a uniform magnetic field. Analysing the quantum scattering for this quasiparticle we observed the appearance of a topological quantum phase in the solution and demonstrate that this phenomenon is the solid state analog of the He-McKeller-Wilkens effect.Comment: 7 pages, epl styl

Quantum holonomies for an electric dipole moment

AbstractIn this Letter, we obtain the quantum holonomies for a neutral particle with a permanent electric dipole moment based on the analogue effects of the He–McKellar–Wilkens effect and the Scalar Aharonov–Bohm effect and show a new proposal for implementing one-qubit quantum gates
