Quantum Physics arXiv:2512.15935 (quant-ph) [Submitted on 17 Dec 2025] Title:AC Stark effect or time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm effect for particle on a ring Authors:Patrick Hinrichs, Douglas Singleton, Nader Inan View a PDF of the paper titled AC Stark effect or time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm effect for particle on a ring, by Patrick Hinrichs and 2 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:We study the effect of a time-varying solenoidal vector potential for a quantum particle confined to a ring. The setup appears to be a time-varying version of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, but since the particle moves in the presence of fields, it is not strictly an Aharonov-Bohm effect. The results are similar to the ac Stark effect, but with a time-varying electric field coming from the vector potential, rather than the scalar potential. We compare and contrast the present effect with the standard ac Stark effect. The signature of this setup is the generation of quasi-energy sidebands which are observable via spectroscopy.
