Analysis reveals that the imaginary part of the quantum geometric tensor for mixed states cannot serve as a true U(1) connection curvature, displaying non-quantized ambiguities absent in pure states.

Quantum geometric structures—Berry curvature, metric tensor & connections—govern graviton transport through curved spacetime, unifying chiral vortical effects and gravitomagnetic responses via spinor-helicity formalism.
First theoretical evidence that rapidly changing electromagnetic fields alter Hilbert space geometry by inducing quantum state non-orthogonality, suggesting dynamic metric structures analogous to spacetime curvature in general relativity.
