Modular variables in quantum theory

Yakir Aharonov, Hugh Pendleton, Aage Petersen

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The non-local aspects of interaction between quantum systems are investigated. These aspects are particularly conspicuous in quantum phenomena without a classical analog, such as the quantum effects of electromagnetic potentials. The study of the potential effect leads to the introduction of a new type of dynamical variable, the modular variable, which brings out the physical features of quantum mechanical non-locality.
