SUMMARY

The Aharonov-Bohm effect demonstrates that a charged particle is influenced by electromagnetic potentials, even in regions where electric and magnetic fields are absent. In the context of quantum dots, specifically GaSb quantum dots embedded in GaAs, this effect can be observed due to the strong confinement of holes in GaSb and the loose binding of electrons through Coulomb interaction. Understanding this phenomenon is crucial for advancements in quantum computing and nanotechnology.

can anyone explain to me what is Aharonov Bohm? I read it in wikipedia but I'm still blur :cry:
How can we see this effect in quantum dots?

For example: GaSb quantum dot in GaAs (holes strongly confined in GaSb, electron is loosely bound due to Coulomb interaction)

Any help/explanation/correction is highly appreciated.
