Laughlin quasihole geometry from a single snapshot ensemble

Abstract:Can a probability distribution measured in one basis determine complex quantum geometry? The answer is affirmative for a lattice Laughlin quasihole. The exact occupation law at one generic reference position, together with the known analytic quasihole factor, fixes the complete complex Gram kernel. A finite snapshot ensemble estimates this kernel without preparing another member of the family, and thereby determines finite-distance overlaps, Bargmann phases, the quantum metric, and the Berry curvature. The same analytic structure confines the family to an exact projective subspace whose dimension grows at most linearly with particle number. Exact enumeration of a Nielsen-Cirac-Sierra state demonstrates finite-shot reconstruction of both the metric and a geometric phase. Moreover, a Rényi-2 divergence sets the statistical range of the reconstruction while, at nondegenerate points, occupation readout also attains the local single-copy multiparameter information bound.
