The phase acquired by a charged particle from a gauge potential along a path enclosing flux, including its occurrence and interpretation in media such as superconductors and superfluids, and debate over whether it is topological or dynamical. Claims about what charge or phase is physically measured in such setups belong here.

The physically meaningful Aharonov-Bohm phase of a test quark in a superfluid is that of the dressed charge
