Topological Wilson-loop area law manifested using a superposition of
loops    [PDF]

Erez Zohar, Benni Reznik

We introduce a new topological effect involving interference of two meson loops, manifesting a path-independent topological area dependence. The effect also draws a connection between quark confinement, Wilson Loops and topological effects. Although this is only a gedanken experimment in the context of particle physics, such an experiment may be realized and used as a tool to test confinement effects and phase transitions in quantum simulation of dynamic gauge theories.
