Abstract
We propose two types of topologically stable knot solitons in condensed matters, one in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates and one in two-gap superconductors. We identify the knot in Bose-Einstein condensates as a twisted vorticity flux ring and the knot in two-gap superconductors as a twisted magnetic flux ring. In both cases we show that there is a remarkable interplay between topology and dynamics which transforms the topologcal stability to the dynamical stability, and vise versa. We discuss how these knots can be constructed in the spin-1/2 condensate of atoms and in two-gap superconductor of .
