Flux-threaded quantum rotor

ID: flux-threaded-quantum-rotor

For the Gaussian-unit flux term , canonical momentum is shifted by . Periodic wavefunctions then give the displayed spectrum for integer . The flux period is in these units; the corresponding SI expressions omit . A gauge change transfers the flux to a twisted boundary condition rather than removing it from the physical problem. Half-integer gives a pair of degenerate nearest-momentum levels.
