Electromagnetic Fields and Maxwells Equations
- Longitudinal and transversal parts
  - Longitudinal $\bgroup\color{col1}$ \mathbf{E}$\egroup$ and $\bgroup\color{col1}$ \mathbf{B}$\egroup$ are `trivial'
- Potentials
  - Gauge Transformations
  - Coulomb Gauge
Gauge invariance in single-particle non-relativistic QM
- Local Gauge Transformation
  - Example: spatially constant electric field, zero magnetic field
Gauge invariance for many charges in non-relativistic QM
