Quantum Mechanics of charge-monopole system

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on resources for understanding the Quantum Mechanics (QM) of charge-monopole systems, particularly for an undergraduate presentation. Key references include P. A. M. Dirac's seminal papers: "Quantised Singularities in the Electromagnetic Field" (1931) and "Theory of Magnetic Poles" (1948), which provide foundational insights. Additionally, T. T. Wu and C. N. Yang's 1975 paper on nonintegrable phase factors offers a modern perspective. The participant aims to develop a publishable paper based on these resources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with electromagnetic theory
  • Knowledge of gauge theory concepts
  • Ability to analyze academic papers
NEXT STEPS
  • Study P. A. M. Dirac's "Quantised Singularities in the Electromagnetic Field"
  • Examine T. T. Wu and C. N. Yang's "Concept of nonintegrable phase factors"
  • Research current literature on charge-monopole systems
  • Learn about the process of writing and publishing academic papers
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate physics students, researchers in quantum mechanics, and anyone interested in the theoretical aspects of charge-monopole systems.

Hi , I am having a presentation on QM charge monopole system at the end of November as a requirement for my course. I need some good resource on it to dig in as my instructor left it in our hand. so kindly suggest me some good things to start on .

for your information, I am in final year of my undergrad. and I want to make it like a paper that I can publish later on

regards

The original papers by Dirac are marvelous to read and very understandable:

P. A. M. Dirac, Quantised Singularities in the Electromagnetic Field, Proc. Roy. Soc. A 133, 60 (1931), http://www.jstor.org/stable/95639

P. A. M. Dirac, Theory of Magnetic Poles, Phys. Rev. 74, 817 (1948), http://link.aps.org/abstract/PR/v74/i7/p817

A more modern point of view is provided in

T. T. Wu and C. N. Yang, Concept of nonintegrable phase factors and global formulation of gauge fields, Phys. Rev. D 12, 3845 (1975),
http://link.aps.org/abstract/PRD/v12/i12/p3845
