Quantised Charge and Magnetic Flux Are Linked by a Single Condition

Cyril Belardinelli and the University of São Paulo re-examine the long-standing problem of charge quantization by analyzing the behavior of charged particles near a current-carrying solenoid. Solving the Schrödinger equation for this system reveals a combined quantization condition linking magnetic flux and electric charge, and importantly, demonstrates the Lorentz invariance of magnetic flux as a pseudoscalar. The analysis offers a new perspective on charge quantization and its relationship to fundamental physical symmetries. A simultaneous quantization condition for both magnetic flux and electric charge has been demonstrated, revealing a previously unrecognized link between the two fundamental properties. Prior theoretical modelling often failed to…
