Does an electron have a quantum phase frequency?

In summary: So clearly, adding a constant does change the physics in some ways.And clearly, any "spectroscopic" phenomenon (like the absorption or emission of light) that depends only on the difference between two energy levels is necessarily invariant under such a transformation.This is not correct. For example, if you add a constant to the potential, the energy of the photon will not be the same, and the photon will be absorbed or emitted.

With all due respect, this sounds like an opinion without arguments.
