The asciidoc quotes ^ and ~ only generate the single level HTML sup
and sub entities.  The syntax of quotes is not designed to nest the
same quote type, in fact http://asciidoc.org/userguide.html#X51 under
"Quoted Text Behaviour" explicitly says *different* quote types can be
nested.

For tensor notation or other advanced math you should use one of the
math specific mechanisms http://asciidoc.org/userguide.html#X78.
