COLLAPSE AND REVIVAL IN AHARONOV-BOHM ELECTRON INTERFERENCE EXPERIMENT

It is shown that in the presence of even and odd coherent state field the collapse and revival (CR) phenomenon can occur in Aharonov-Bohm el ectron interference, which is closely related to the quantum fluctuati on of the field. CR phenomenon reflects the effects of quantum noise o f the field on the dynamic behaviour of electron interference. For coh erent state field and number state field there is no CR to occur, whic h means that CR is due to both wave and particle aspects of the field.
