- TL;DR Summary
- Was original experiment, EXACTLY as specified in the 1959 paper, ever performed successfully?
The original paper for what is now called the Aharonov-Bohm Effect was published in 1959. In this paper they proposed two experiments: One for detecting phase shifts for two electron beams, each passing through regions (inside metal tubes) with constant but differing Electric Potentials. The second for detecting a phase shift for electrons passing through a region of constant Magnetic Vector Potential outside of a solenoid.
Was the first experiment, exactly as specified in the original paper, ever performed successfully?
Thank you in advance.
