| contents | Quantum geometry governs a wide range of transport and optical phenomena in quantum materials. Recent works have explored analogue electromagnetism and gravity in terms of the quantum geometric tensor, whose real and imaginary parts correspond to the quantum metric and the Berry curvature. By treating real- and momentum-space geometries on an equal footing, we develop a comprehensive and general formalism based on an expansion in $\hbar$, equivalent to an expansion in spatial derivatives. We derive the quantum-metric corrections to the wave-packet energy, the Berry connection, and the phase-space density of states, similar to the field-induced corrections in nonlinear response. A kinetic equation that captures quantum-metric effects across the full phase space then follows naturally. We further identify a polarization induced by gradients of the metric and a linear Hall response originating from its mixed components. Our framework provides a foundation for investigating thermodynamic and transport properties in systems where real- and momentum-space quantum geometries coexist. |
