Topological Structure Of A Quantum-Mechanical Knot Soliton

Caption

Topological structure of a quantum-mechanical knot soliton. The white ring is the core of the soliton (field pointing down), and the surrounding colored bands define a set of nested tori that illustrate the linked structure of its field lines. The boundary of the knot lies near the dark grey lines (field pointing up).
