Gauge concept is now famous as the most progressive discoveries in physics because the improvement of quantum mechanics. This primer explains how and why gauge idea has dramatically replaced our view of the elemental forces of nature. The textual content is designed for the non-specialist. a brand new, intuitive procedure is used to make the tips of gauge concept obtainable to either scientists and scholars with just a history in quantum mechanics. Emphasis is put on the physics instead of the formalism.

In analogy with Weyl’s original theory, the phase of a particle’s wavefunction can be identified as a new physical degree of freedom which is dependent on the space-time position. The phase value can be changed arbitrarily by performing purely mathematical phase transformations on the wavefunction at each point. Therefore, as Weyl had argued originally, there must be some connection between phase values at nearby points. The role of this connection is played by the electromagnetic potential. This intimate relation between potential and the change in phase is clearly demonstrated by the Aharonov-Bohm effect.
