\titou{Maybe you should add a few equations here to highlight the self-orthogonality process. In plain words, four loops around the EP are necessary to recover the initial state.
What do you think? We can also see that looping the other way around leads to a different pattern.
You could also show that the behaviour of the wave function when one follows the complex contour around the EP.}
