Aranov-Bohm effect

[glitch0]

Physicists like their theories to be what they call "local".  By local, we mean that interactions between entities occur where the objects meet in space and time.  For example, if you swing a bat at a baseball, then we prefer to have our physics agree with what we observe and the ball continues on whatever trajectory it was originally on until it

Wow! Does it work if you put the solenoid in a Faraday cage?

I'd have to check the math to be certain, but I remember Faraday cages negating electric, not magnetic fields. There must be some way to shield the potential from your particles, but I seem to remember the actual length scales that these interferometers deal with being rather small (I imagine it's on the order of a few feet or so at most), as charged particles tend to interact with other things and this kills the interference effect. If it can damp out the vector potential, then yes, it should stop the interaction.
