//! Tautochrone operators and geodesics
//!
//! This module implements tautochrone operators for geodesic calculations
//! on factorization tori. Tautochrone paths are geodesics with the special
//! property that particle trajectories take equal time regardless of
//! starting position, connecting to quantum mechanical evolution.
