我们通过弯曲时空中的量子场论揭示了引力子Wigner函数和应力-能量张量的量子几何结构，揭示了时空的相空间几何和相对论性量子态流形。我们证明，底层引力子场算符的偏振模式展开完全由量子几何捕获，如旋量-螺旋度形式所编码，从而从一开始就建立了几何框架。将此应用于弱引力背景，我们展示了量子度量和联络在描述超越手性涡旋效应的引力子输运中的作用。我们还阐明了量子度量在此方法中对完美流体引力子应力张量归一化的作用。这项工作为高能和引力物理中多态希尔伯特空间几何的探索铺平了道路。此外，该框架自然涵盖低自旋激发，允许对凝聚态和粒子物理中的玻色子和费米子多体系统进行统一的量子几何处理。
英文摘要
We uncover the quantum geometric structure of graviton Wigner functions and stress-energy tensors via quantum field theory in curved spacetime, revealing the phase-space geometry of spacetime and relativistic quantum-state manifolds. We show that the polarization mode expansion of the underlying graviton field operator is fully captured by quantum geometry, as encoded in the spinor-helicity formalism, thereby establishing the geometric framework from the outset. Applying this to a weak gravitational background, we demonstrate the roles of the quantum metric and connection in describing graviton transport beyond the chiral vortical effect. We also clarify the role of the quantum metric in normalizing the perfect-fluid graviton stress tensor within this approach. This work paves the path for explorations of multistate Hilbert-space geometry in high-energy and gravitational physics. In addition, this framework naturally encompasses lower-spin excitations, allowing for a unified quantum geometric treatment of bosonic and fermionic many-body systems in condensed matter and particle physics.
