Knots and signal transmission in topological quantum devices
arXiv:2012.13612 · doi:10.1088/1751-8121/ac284e
Abstract
We discuss the basic problem of signal transmission in quantum mechanics in terms of topological theories. Using the analogy between knot diagrams and quantum amplitudes we calculate the transmission coefficients of the concept topological quantum devices that realize the knot topology. We observe that the problem is in different ways similar to that of transmission on quantum graphs. The desired transmission or filtering properties can be attained by the variation of the topology of the device, or an external parameter, which in our model controls the topological phase. One interesting property of the transmission coefficients is the existence of "self-averaging" phases, in which the value of the transmission coefficient is independent from all the representatives in a chosen family of knots. We briefly discuss physical realizations of the concept devices.
