Quantum geometry merges quantum mechanics with geometric concepts to explore the quantization of space-time. It challenges classical views with ideas like space granularity, the uncertainty principle, and the quantization of space-time. Symplectic geometry and quantum information geometry further bridge the gap between abstract mathematics and physical phenomena, influencing quantum computing and our understanding of the universe.
