摘要：

We study the influence of a weak magnetic field on time evolution of a quantum state that is a coherent superposition of two counter-rotating Trojan wave packets in a linearly polarized electromagnetic field. We demonstrate that both the interference pattern of the electron probability density and differential cross section for half-cycle pulse ionization exhibit periodic modulation as a function of magnetic flux cutting the plane of packet motion. The shift is proportional to the magnetic flux in a way characteristic for the Aharonov-Bohm effect. [S1050-2947(98)06202-7].
