Aharonov-Bohm effect in the time domain
In the Aharonov-Bohm effect, charged particles accumulate a phase as they travel in space, encircling a source of magnetic flux. We develop a temporal analog of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, where the photons' path is in the time-domain instead of the spatial domain, and moreover demonstrate it exp...

| Summary: | In the Aharonov-Bohm effect, charged particles accumulate a phase as they travel in space, encircling a source of magnetic flux. We develop a temporal analog of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, where the photons' path is in the time-domain instead of the spatial domain, and moreover demonstrate it experimentally with entangled photon pairs rather than single, uncorrelated quanta. Relying on the temporal SU(1,1) interferometer, the constructed interferometric scheme excels in its temporal resolution and sensitivity. This system can be applied for quantum-enhanced measurements, metrology at GHz frequencies, advanced sensing of dispersion properties, and high-precision temporal measurements. |
