Wilczek's Theorem

Wilczek’s Theorem discusses how certain particles in quantum physics, like solitons or topological defects, behave when quantum effects are considered. It states that features like their stability and properties are protected by the system’s topology—meaning their fundamental structure can't be easily changed by small disturbances. Essentially, it highlights that the mathematical "shape" or "twist" in a system ensures these particles remain stable and retain their characteristics, even when quantum fluctuations are included. This theorem helps explain why some particles or states are remarkably robust in quantum systems.
