Hybrid of Quantum Phases for Induced Dipole Moments

The quantum phase effects for induced electric and magnetic dipole moments are investigated. It is shown that the phase shift received by the induced electric dipole has the same form as the one induced by magnetic dipole moment, therefore the total phase is a hybrid of these two types of phase. This feature indicates that to have a decisive measurement on either one of these two phases, it is necessary to measure the velocity dependence of the observed phase.
