GQLink: An implementation of Quantized State Systems (QSS) methods in Geant4

Simulations in high energy physics (HEP) often require the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (ODE) to determine the trajectories of charged particles in a magnetic field when particles move throughout detector volumes. Each crossing of a volume interrupts the underlying numerical...
