Topic: Stable homotopy and negative dimensional spheres


view this post on Zulip Keith Elliott Peterson (Feb 09 2024 at 07:34):

I was reading Urs Schreiber's 'Higher Topos Theory', and he casually points out how quantum physics (being a linear theory) is given by probing a space via negative dimensional spheres in stable homotopy theory.

Are there any good resources on stable homotopy theory for someone unfamiliar with the stable homotopy theory and these negative spheres?
