چکیده
This paper proposes the definition of a quantum knot as a linear superposition of classical knots in three dimensional space. The definition is constructed and applications are discussed. Then the paper details extensions and also limitations of the Aravind Hypothesis for comparing quantum measurement with classical topological measurement. We propose a separate, network model for quantum evolution and measurement, where the background space is replaced by an evolving network. In this model there is an analog of the Aravind Hypothesis that promises to directly illuminate relationships between physics, topology and quantum knots.

Quantum Knots and Riemann Hypothesis
In this paper we propose a quantum gauge system from which we construct generalized Wilson loops which will be as quantum knots. From quantum knots we give a classification table of knots where knots are one-to-one assigned with an integer such that prime knots are bijectively assigned with prime numbers and the prime number 2 corresponds to the trefoil knot. Then by considering the quantum kno...
متن کاملOn Quantum Algebras and Coalgebras, Oriented Quantum Algebras and Coalgebras, Invariants of 1–1 Tangles, Knots and Links
We outline a theory of quantum algebras and coalgebras and their resulting invariants of unoriented 1–1 tangles, knots and links, we outline a theory of oriented quantum algebras and coalgebras and their resulting invariants of oriented 1–1 tangles, knots and links, and we show how these algebras and coalgebras are related. Quasitriangular Hopf algebras are examples of quantum algebras and orie...
متن کاملPost Quantum Cryptography from Mutant Prime Knots
By resorting to basic features of topological knot theory we propose a (classical) cryptographic protocol based on the ‘difficulty’ of decomposing complex knots generated as connected sums of prime knots and their mutants. The scheme combines an asymmetric public key protocol with symmetric private ones and is intrinsecally secure against quantum eavesdropper attacks. PACS2008: 89.70.-a (Inform...
متن کاملQuantum Invariants of Links and New Quantum Field Models
We propose a gauge model of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and its nonabelian generalization from which we derive knot invariants such as the Jones polynomial. Our approach is inspired by the work of Witten who derived knot invariants from quantum field theory based on the Chern-Simon Lagrangian. From our approach we can derive new knot and link invariants which extend the Jones polynomial and g...
متن کاملKelvin Waves and Dynamic Knots on Perturbative Helical Vortex Lines
Vortex lines are one-dimensional extended objects in three-dimensional superfluids. Vortex lines have many interesting properties, including Kelvin waves, exotic statistics, and possible entanglement. In this paper, an emergent ”quantum world” is explored by projecting helical vortex lines. A one-dimensional quantum Fermionic model is developed to effectively describe the local fluctuations of ...
