Episode Synopsis "PhysicsFM - Quantum Paradoxes 4 - Phases and Gauges - Randy Morrison and Jim Rantschler"

Jim and Randy talk about two paradoxes that help describe the Aharonov-Bohm effect. This requires an excursion into the gauge invariance of the vector potential of electrodynamics -- and how that gauge has real effects in quantum theory, even though it did not in classical physics.
