Abstract

A quantum of kinetic momentum is attributed to a two-particle system of correlated electrons. As a result, the minimum possible magnetic flux (quantum) became smaller (twice) than the flux calculated for a single electron. There is an obvious contradiction, since magnetic flux is an additive quantity and therefore it would be more natural to expect its increase rather than decrease. The aim of the study is to resolve this contradiction. The possibility of creating a magnetic flux by a two-particle system of electrons and measuring it is not exclusive. Magnetic flux can be created by a single electron with the same success. Just as in the case of pair correlation the quantum of magnetic flux decreased twofold compared to F. London's quantum, in the case of n-fold correlation the quantum will decrease n times. There is no reasonable explanation for this. Ascribing a quantum of kinetic momentum to a Cooper pair is unacceptable. A quantum of kinetic momentum should be attributed to a single particle, and should not be attributed to a system of particles.
