Abstract
We show that the quantum topological effect predicted by Aharonov and Casher (AC effect) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 53, 319 (1984)] may be used to create circulating states of magnetically trapped atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). A simple experimental setup is suggested based on a multiply connected geometry such as a toroidal trap or a magnetic trap pinched by a blue-detuned laser. We give numerical estimates of such effects within the current atomic BEC experiments, and point out some interesting properties of the associated quantized circulating states.
