•Berry phase & Berry connection in condensed-matter systems;
•Paradigm: Aharonov-Bohm phase and its surprising measurement in condensed-
matter interferometers;
•Spin-orbit coupling, topological insulators;
•Aharonov-Casher phase;
•(Futile) attempts to measure the aharonov-Casher phase in condensed-matter interferometers;
•Suggestion: interference effect in interferometers with broken time-reversal sym- metry;
