Quantum Equivalent Magnetic Fields that Are Not Classically Equivalent

We construct pairs of compact Kähler-Einstein manifolds $(M_i,g_i,ω_i)$ ($i=1,2)$ of complex dimension $n$ with the following properties: The canonical line bundle $L_i=\bigwedge^n T^*M_i$ has Chern class $[ω_i/2π]$, and for each integer $k$ the tensor powers $L_1^{\otimes k}$ and $L_2^{\otimes k}$ are isospectral for the bundle Laplacian associated with the canonical connection, while $M_1$ and $M_2$ -- and hence $T^*M_1$ and $T^*M_2$ -- are not homeomorphic. In the context of geometric quantization, we interpret these examples as magnetic fields which are quantum equivalent but not classically equivalent. Moreover, we construct many examples of line bundles $L$, pairs of potentials $Q_1$, $Q_2$ on the base manifold, and pairs of connections $\nabla_1$, $\nabla_2$ on $L$ such that for each integer $k$ the associated Schrödinger operators on $L^{\otimes k}$ are isospectral.
