Berry curvature is an imaginary component of the quantum geometric tensor (QGT) and is well studied in many branches of modern physics; however, the quantum metric as a real component of the QGT is less explored. Here, by using tunable…

The size of Cooper pairs defines a fundamental length scale of superconductivity, conventionally set by band dispersion and the superconducting gap. This picture breaks down in flat bands, where quenched dispersion makes quantum geometry…

We experimentally observe the quantum geometric tensor, namely the quantum metric and the Berry curvature, for a square lattice of radiatively coupled plasmonic nanoparticles. We observe a non-zero Berry curvature and show that it arises…

The complete quantum metric of a parametrized quantum system has a real part (usually known as the Provost-Vallee metric) and a symplectic imaginary part (known as the Berry curvature). In this paper, we first investigate the relation…
