}Gaussian linking of superconducting loops containing Josephson junctions with enclosed magnetic fields gives rise to interference shifts in the phase that modulates the current carried through the loop, proportional to the magnitude of the enclosed flux. We generalize these results to higher order linking of a superconducting loop with several magnetic solenoids, and show that there may be interference shifts proportional to the product of two or more fluxes.

We discuss physical systems with topologies more complicated than simple gaussian linking. Our examples of these higher topologies are in non-relativistic quantum mechanics and in QCD.
