A phenomenon of dynamical Aharonov-Bohm caging arises in a Z2 lattice gauge theory, as a result of vison-like configurations of the gauge-magnetic flux threading elementary plaquettes of the lattice. The authors demonstrate that particles are tightly confined inside the cages, which become mobile in the presence of quantum fluctuations, leading to a Luttinger Liquid or to a Mott insulator of the confined mesons.
