Aharonov-Bohm phase for an electric dipole on a noncommutative space

Abstract

We study the non-relativistic behavior of a particle with electric dipole moment and interacting with external electromagnetic fields on a noncommutative space (NCS). For a special configuration of the field, the phase of an electric dipole is derived as an application of the Aharonov-Bohm effect to a system composed of two charges. We find that the quantum phase for an electric dipole obtains some corrections, and these corrections depend on the noncommutative parameter explicitly.
