Different types of angular magnetoresistance oscillations in quasi-one-dimensional layered materials, such as organic conductors (TMTSF)2X, are explained in terms of Aharonov-Bohm interference in interlayer electron tunneling. A two-parameter pattern of oscillations for generic orientations of a magnetic field is visualized and compared to the experimental data. Connections with angular magnetoresistance oscillations in other layered materials are discussed.

A theoretical investigation of spin-orbit coupling effect on magnetotransport of a monolayer graphene system having the geometry of Aharonov-Bohm interferometer is presented. The spin-orbit interaction is considered in the form of Rashba spin-orbit (RSO) coupling. The problem is studied within atomistic tight-binding approximation in combination with non-equilibrium Green's functions formalism.

Magnetic fields can be introduced into discrete models of quantum systems by the Peierls substitution. For tight-binding Hamiltonians, the substitution results in a set of (Peierls) phases that are usually calculated from the magnetic vector potential. As the potential is not unique, a convenient gauge can be chosen to fit the geometry and simplify calculations.

The pairing of electrons is ubiquitous in electronic systems featuring attractive inter-electron interactions, as exemplified in superconductors. Counterintuitively, it can also be mediated in certain circumstances by the repulsive Coulomb interaction alone. Quantum Hall (QH) Fabry-Pérot interferometers (FPIs) tailored in a two-dimensional electron gas under a perpendicular magnetic field have been argued to exhibit such an unusual electron pairing, seemingly without attractive interactions.

Interferometers, which are built using spatially propagating light or matter waves, are commonly used to measure physical quantities. These measurements are made possible by exploiting the interference between waves traveling along different paths. This study introduces a novel approach to sensing of the Aharonov-Bohm phase, an ion matter-wave interferometer operating within a two-dimensional rotational trajectory in a trap potential.

Geometric phases play a crucial role in diverse fields. In molecules, they appear when a reaction path encircles an intersection between adiabatic potential energy surfaces and the molecular wave function experiences quantum-mechanical interference effects. This intriguing effect, closely resembling the magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect, crucially relies on the adiabatic description of the dynamics, and it is an open issue whether and how it persists in an exact quantum dynamical framework.
