Contribution
It investigates higher topological configurations in physical systems, expanding understanding beyond simple linking in quantum mechanics and QCD.
Findings
Identification of higher topological structures in quantum systems
Analysis of their implications in QCD and quantum mechanics
Extension of topological studies beyond simple links
Abstract
Few physical systems with topologies more complicated than simple gaussian linking have been explored in detail. Here we focus on examples with higher topologies in non-relativistic quantum mechanics and in QCD.
