The Fubini-Study metric

The Fubini-Study metric is a way to measure distances between points in a space called complex projective space, which is used in quantum mechanics to represent different states of a quantum system. Imagine each point as a direction or a "state" rather than a specific location, with the metric quantifying how "close" or "far apart" two states are. It helps us understand the geometry of these states, showing, for example, how easily one can transition from one quantum state to another. Overall, it provides a mathematical way to analyze the shape and structure of quantum state spaces.
