Global phase invariance has been identified with the conservation of electric charge. Local phase invariance via the coupling of the wave function/field with the EM four-vector has been identified with charged particles interacting with the EM field.
Am I correct in assuming that, except for interference effects, Phase is basically irrelevant for uncharged particles?
Thanks in advance. Physics for me is neither a major nor a profession, just an interest.
