Abstract
We analyze general expressions for the quantum phases of dipoles and pointlike charges in an electromagnetic field, applying the strong relativistic limit and using the principle of superposition of quantum phases first proposed in Kholmetskii and Yarman (EPL 120: 40007, 2017). This way we derive a new expression for the AB phase of electrically charged particles, which is both gauge-invariant and Lorentz-invariant, and discuss its implications.
期刊介绍：
The aims of this peer-reviewed online journal are to distribute and archive all relevant material required to document, assess, validate and reconstruct in detail the body of knowledge in the physical and related sciences.
The scope of EPJ Plus encompasses a broad landscape of fields and disciplines in the physical and related sciences - such as covered by the topical EPJ journals and with the explicit addition of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and cosmology, mathematical and quantum physics, classical and fluid mechanics, accelerator and medical physics, as well as physics techniques applied to any other topics, including energy, environment and cultural heritage.
