The geometric description of open quantum systems via the Quantum Geometric Tensor (QGT) traditionally relies on the assumption that the physical states form a differentiable vector bundle over the parameter manifold. This framework becomes ill-posed at spectral singularities, such as Exceptional Points, where the eigen-bundle admits no local trivialization due to dimension reduction. In this work, we resolve this obstruction by demonstrating that the family of Liouvillian superoperators $\mathcal{L}(k)$ over a complex parameter manifold $X$ canonically defines a \textbf{regular holonomic $\mathcal{D}_X$-module} $\mathcal{M}$. By identifying the physical coherence order with the Hodge filtration and the decay rate hierarchy with the \textbf{Kashiwara filtration}, we show that the open quantum system underlies a \textbf{Mixed Hodge Module (MHM)} structure in the sense of Saito.
This identification allows us to apply the \textbf{Grothendieck six-functor formalism} rigorously to dissipative dynamics. We prove that the divergence corresponds to a non-trivial cohomology class in $\text{Ext}^1_{\mathcal{D}_X}$, thereby regularizing the Quantum Geometric Tensor without ad-hoc cutoffs. Specifically, the ``singular component'' of the Complete QGT arises as the residue of the connection on the \textbf{Brieskorn lattice} associated with the vanishing cycles functor.
Open Quantum Systems as Regular Holonomic D-Modules: The Mixed Hodge Structure of Spectral Singularities
The geometric description of open quantum systems via the Quantum Geometric Tensor (QGT) traditionally relies on the assumption that the physical states form a differentiable vector bundle over the parameter manifold. This framework becomes ill-posed at spectral singularities, such as Exceptional Points, where the eigen-bundle admits no local trivialization due to dimension reduction. In this work, we resolve this obstruction by demonstrating that the family of Liouvillian superoperators L(k) over a complex parameter manifold X canonically defines a \textbf{regular holonomic DX-module} M. By identifying the physical coherence order with the Hodge filtration and the decay rate hierarchy with the \textbf{Kashiwara filtration}, we show that the open quantum system underlies a \textbf{Mixed Hodge Module (MHM)} structure in the sense of Saito.

Standard spectroscopic protocols model the dynamics of open quantum systems as a superposition of isolated, exponentially decaying eigenmodes. This paradigm fails fundamentally at Exceptional Points, where the eigenbasis collapses and the response becomes dominated by non-diagonalizable Jordan blocks. We resolve this ambiguity by introducing a geometric framework based on \textit{Dissipative Mixed Hodge Modules} (DMHM). By replacing the scalar linewidth with a topological \textit{Weight Filtration}, we derive ``Weight Filtered Spectroscopy'' (WFS)--a protocol that spatially separates decay channels based on the nilpotency rank of the Liouvillian. We demonstrate that WFS acts as a dissipative x-ray, quantifying dissipative leakage in molecular polaritons and certifying topological isolation in Non-Hermitian Aharonov-Bohm rings. This establishes that topological protection persists as an algebraic invariant even when the spectral gap is closed.
This paper develops a rigorous, self-contained differential-geometric framework for tracking mixed quantum states in open physical systems, providing an analytical structural extension to the pure-state Kâhler geometry of Paper 1. Because open quantum dynamics induced by environment-driven dissipation and decoherence break the global manifold homogeneity, we model the total space of density operators S(H) as a stratified space. We prove that the individual rank-k subsets constitute embedded smooth real manifolds of dimension 2k(N + 1) − k2 − 1, satisfying the algebraic conditions of Whitney Regularity Condition B to guarantee continuous tangent space alignment across interfaces. To assign coordinate-independent connection and metric tensors over this stratified landscape, we formalize the global principal U (n) fiber bundle structure using Uhlmann’s purification theorem. By lifting mixed density operators to pure-state amplitudes W ∈ GL(n, C) on a bipartite workspace, we show that minimizing the ambient flat Hilbert–Schmidt metric along the vertical fibers induces the non-degenerate Bures metric on the base manifold. We derive the exact matrix elements of the corresponding Symmetric Logarithmic Derivative (SLD) fields in an arbitrary non-degenerate eigenbasis, establishing the mixed-state information scaling boundary gQF IM = 4gB. Finally, we characterize the non-Abelian Yang–Mills curvature FU = dAU + AU ∧ AU of the Uhlmann connection, demonstrating how non-commutativity emerges naturally under environmental coupling. By isolating the measure-zero boundary configurations where eigenvalues or matrix rank drop, we generalize our control immersion criterion to identify both rank deficient and eigenvalue-vanishing caustic singularities. This metric-determinant verification pipeline allows researchers to systematically diagnose, map, and structurally bypass trajectory bottlenecks during Lindbladian control path optimization on real-world noisy quantum backends
We develop a comprehensive, gauge-covariant geometric framework for non-Hermitian quantum systems in the quasi-Hermitian regime, that is, the region of parameter space where the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian admits a real spectrum and a positive-definite metric operator. We build this framework by elevating the Dyson map to a central geometric object. This map is the transformation that converts a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian into an equivalent Hermitian one. From it we construct the Dyson connection and decompose it into Hermitian and anti-Hermitian parts, identified respectively as {\it stretching } and {\it rotation } components. This decomposition cleanly separates the genuine physical metric deformations from the unitary gauge redundancies. Working with manifestly gauge-covariant states, we then derive the complex non-Hermitian Berry phase and the quantum geometric tensor (QGT), and show that the non-Hermitian geometric curvature originates from the non-commutativity of the stretching components at the operator level. We further analyse the geometric singularities near an exceptional point (EP) and uncover a distinct hierarchy of divergences. For a general two-level non-Hermitian model, the quantum metric tensor (QMT) exhibits a leading-order divergence ∼∣εμ∣−2, while the Berry curvature shows a weaker, subleading divergence ∼∣εμ∣−3/2, with εμ denoting the parameter displacement from the EP along an individual parameter axis μ. Finally, we examine physical realizations of this model, including the non-Hermitian Su--Schrieffer--Heeger (SSH) and Hatano--Nelson (HN) models, where exact analytical results confirm the predicted critical scaling laws and illustrate the metric-deformation-driven non-Hermitian geometries.
Standard topological invariants, such as the Chern number and Berry phase, form the bedrock of modern quantum matter classification. However, we demonstrate that this framework undergoes a \textbf{catastrophic failure} in the presence of essential singularities -- ubiquitous in open, driven, and non-Hermitian systems ("Wild" regime). In these settings, the local geometric tensor diverges, rendering standard invariants ill-defined and causing perturbative predictions to deviate from reality by order unity (∼100%). We resolve this crisis by introducing the \textbf{Floquet-Monodromy Spectroscopy (FMS)} protocol, a pulse-level control sequence, which experimentally extracts the hidden \textit{Stokes Phenomenon} -- the "missing" geometric data that completes the topological description. By mapping the singularity's Stokes multipliers to time-domain observables, FMS provides a rigorous experimental bridge to \textbf{Resurgence Theory}, allowing for the exact reconstruction of non-perturbative physics from divergent asymptotic series. We validate this framework on a superconducting qudit model, demonstrating that the "Stokes Invariant" serves as the next-generation quantum number for classifying phases of matter beyond the reach of conventional topology.
We investigate the geometry of mixed quantum states near rank-changing points, showing that these singularities function as effective geometric defects. The Uhlmann connection is well-defined on the full-rank sector of the density-matrix manifold, while rank-deficient states form singular boundary strata where the bundle structure degenerates. By restricting to a punctured state manifold that excludes the singular set, we obtain a well-defined gauge structure and identify an asymptotically robust invariant: the Uhlmann holonomy around noncontractible loops encircling the defect on a restricted two-dimensional punctured submanifold. In an exactly solvable qutrit model, a restricted submanifold emerges on which the connection is locally flat yet carries nontrivial monodromy, analogous to flat connections with Aharonov--Bohm-type transport. The holonomy depends only on the ratios of the vanishing eigenvalues under frozen radial dependence of the eigenbasis geometry and a fixed angular loop. In contrast, the Uhlmann curvature may diverge path-dependently when eigenvalues shrink with distinct powers, with a leading spectral-prefactor scaling law, establishing that the holonomy survives as a universal asymptotic invariant while the curvature remains non-universal. Within the effective SU(2) defect sector, the conjugacy class of the holonomy, equivalently the Wilson loop variable, provides a continuous, non-quantized classification of the asymptotic monodromy surrounding the rank-deficient defect. This non-quantization does not imply a lack of robustness: the asymptotic holonomy is an invariant of the restricted punctured submanifold and is insensitive to smooth deformations of the loop or the radial profile within the fixed spectral-ratio sector.
This paper establishes the foundational differential-geometric architecture for the coordinate-independent tracking of pure quantum states within closed physical systems, validated via explicit computational modeling of a driven two-level system. While standard quantum mechanics relies on the linear algebraic structure of complex Hilbert spaces, the unique identification of physical states requires factoring out non-zero complex scaling factors, positioning the true arena of quantum dynamics as the projective Hilbert space P(H). We analyze this space as a compact complex manifold possessing an intrinsic Kähler structure that fuses a Riemannian metric tensor, a symplectic form, and a complex structure into a unified geometric framework. Through this manifold lens, we systematically derive the Fubini–Study metric tensor gF S and its corresponding connection geometries. By evaluating the evolution of state vectors under a time-dependent driving Hamiltonian, we show that the natural propagation of a closed quantum system traces out a geodesic path on the projective manifold. This geometric tracking defines a localized vector gauge field—the Berry connection 1-form—which gives rise to an antisymmetric curvature tensor that modifies the effective classical mechanics of the parameter space. Furthermore, we state and prove three core theorems establishing the geometric constraints of pure state transport: the Holonomy Theorem for cyclic evolutions, the Quantum Cramér–Rao Bound, and the Mandelstam–Tamm Quantum Speed Limit. To bridge theory with physical architectures, we implement an analytical, parameter-shift algorithmic pipeline to extract these metrics natively. Numerical grid analysis confirms the exact structural scaling relation gQF IM = 4 · gF S down to machine precision (1.24 × 10−15). Finally, by tracking the metric volume form det(gij ) alongside the inverse metric components, we visually map out and isolate the topological caustic singularities (θ → 0, π) where the embedding map drops rank. This computational diagnostic provides a robust framework to identify and structurally bypass non-immersive control bottlenecks during the initial Hamiltonian design phase.
