TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an over-all critical review and commentary on the literature of the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the role of the force concept in quantum mechanics, and the localizability of physical effects principle.
Abstract: The Aharonov-Bohm effect is relatively little known, but it poses fundamental questions in quantum theory. It concerns physical effects on charged particles in field-free regions. The present paper provides an over-all critical review and commentary on the literature of the Aharonov-Bohm effect. The two fundamental questions raised by the effect concern the role of the force concept in quantum mechanics, and the localizability of physical effects principle. A recent letter from Professor Bohm concerning his evaluation of the significance of the effect is included in the Appendix.

TL;DR: In this article, an exact solution for a non-stationary problem in which the interaction potential is an arbitrary function of time and coordinates is obtained, and the obtained solution reduces in particular cases to well-known results for transition probabilities between highly excited levels of a quantum oscillator.
Abstract: A model of an excited quantum system is considered. An exact solution is obtained for a non-stationary problem in which the interaction potential is an arbitrary function of time and coordinates. The obtained solution reduces in particular cases to well-known results for transition probabilities between highly excited levels of a quantum oscillator.

TL;DR: In this article, a system of N two-level molecules interacting with one mode of the radiation field is treated quantum mechanically with exact methods, taken from electric and magnetic dipole coupling where anti-resonant terms are neglected.
