In the effort to create ever smaller electronic devices, the idea of single molecule circuit elements has sparked the imagination of scientists for nearly fifty years.

We have studied the topological expression of the reduced quantum trajectory using ϕ-mapping topological current theory and reduced density matrix theory. Moreover, we have proposed a new topological expression called the reduced quantum topological trajectory. Ignoring the coefficients of the winding number, we have found that the expression for the reduced quantum topological trajectory is the same for coherence as it is for decoherence. Under certain conditions, the vorticity of the reduced quantum topological trajectory is a topological invariant.
