contents We report the theoretical prediction and experimental observation of a new class of four-dimensional (4D) tensor singularities and their three-dimensional (3D) Euler-class descendants, protected by chiral and spacetime inversion symmetries on a superconducting circuit platform. The 4D point-like singularity/monopole, characterized by the Dixmier-Douady class of a real bundle gerbe associated with tensor gauge fields, is observed to evolve into a nodal ring carrying an additional first Euler class charge under symmetry-preserving perturbations. Dimensional reduction reveals 3D Euler and Euler curvature dipoles, exhibiting nontrivial Euler topology and a topological sum rule that ensures zero-energy flat bands inherit nontrivial topology even without interactions. Crucially, these high-dimensional degenerate systems are mapped and reconstructed using a hybrid analog-digital protocol designed for non-Abelian quantum geometry measurement within a superconducting qubit array. Our work not only expands the family of topological monopoles but also establishes a robust experimental framework for exploring high-order gauge theory and real-bundle topology across diverse quantum platforms.
