What is recorded here?
Showed that electromagnetic potentials can produce quantum effects on charged particles in regions where the local fields and forces vanish, and proposed experimental tests.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact 1959 Physical Review paper. Earlier related observations, later electron-interference experiments, geometric-phase theory and broader gauge-theory interpretations remain separate.
