Quantum Geometric Tensor Qμν = ⟨∂μu|(1−|u⟩⟨u|)|∂νu⟩ unifies geometry and topology.
Real part: Fubini-Study metric gμν — measures quantum state distinguishability.
Imaginary part: Berry curvature Ωμν — topological Chern number source.
Left: Bloch sphere with current state (dot) and geodesic. Right: metric tensor components over parameter space.
