A rather general discussion of the AB effect and its implications, including an enlightening letter byD. Bohm is found in the paper byH. Erlichson:Amer. Journ. Phys.,38, 162 (1970). The paper byH. Boyer:Phys. Rev. D,8, 1679 (1973) discussed the electron interferometer experiments performed and gives a rather complete bibliography unfortunately without making reference to experimentation with superconducting quantum interferometers as performed byR. C. Jaklevic, S. S. Lamb, A. H. Silver andS. E. Mercereau:Phys. Rev. Lett.,12, 274 (1964). More recently,A. I. Vainstein andV. V. Sokolov:Sov. Journ. Nucl. Phys.,22, 319 (1976) also discuss the connection between the locality principle in quantum mechanics and the AB effect.
