We outline a theory for the Aharonov-Bohm effect in a novel type of quantum ring, namely the quadratic Gauss quantum ring, here for brevity called the Gauss ring. A Gauss ring is a one-dimensional nonperiodic lattice with sites at $z=z_{j}=j^nd$ with $j\in\{ 0,1,2,\cdots , s+1\}$ ($s\in\mathbb{W}$), $n\geq 2$ ($n\in\mathbb{N}$), and $d$ the underlying period wrapped into a ring-shaped geometry. Here we discuss the electronic spectrum of quadratic Gauss rings ($n=2$, $s\in \{0,1,2,\cdots,5,6,7\}$), and show that the spectrum can be described using theoretical tools recently devised to provide an understanding of the Gauss chain [D. S. Citrin, ``Continuum approach to the quadratic chain: Exact closed-form classification of delocalized states,'' Phys. Rev. B {\bf 107}, 235144 (2023)]. We then consider the effect on the electronic states of a magnetic flux $\Phi$ threading the Gauss ring and show that the effect of the flux is to select specific electronic states from a periodic chain whose supercells are finite-length Gauss chains thus relating the states in the Gauss quantum ring with those in a periodic Gauss chain.
