• Abstract: We formulate the geometric structure of non-compact bosonic quantum systems in regimes where vacuum instability renders the relevant quantum states non-normalizable, causing conventional state-space quantum geometry -- described by the Berry connection, curvature, and quantum metric -- to become ill-defined. To overcome this breakdown, we develop a formulation of quantum geometry at the level of canonical operator frames, allowing for complexified Bogoliubov-Valatin transformations that lift the requirement that creation operators be Hermitian conjugates of annihilation operators. Canonical operator frames are defined as choices of bosonic creation and annihilation operators realizing the canonical commutation relations. A natural equivalence relation among such frames generalizes the phase ambiguity of quantum states and determines a parameter space that analytically extends the stable-regime parameter space. The space of canonical operator frames forms a principal bundle over parameter space -- the operator-frame bundle -- equipped with a natural Ehresmann connection that defines parallel transport while preserving the canonical commutation relations. In the stable regime, this construction reduces to the Berry connection, while more generally it yields a well-defined operator-space quantum geometric tensor (QGT) that remains valid across vacuum instabilities. Using the framework of rigged Hilbert spaces, we define a notion of quantum frame vacuum and obtain a consistent state-space QGT. Focusing on a single bosonic mode, we demonstrate analyticity of the QGT across the quantum frame-vacuum phase transition and present the corresponding phase diagram on the complexified squeezing-parameter plane. We further introduce a realistic physical setting that allows continuous paths connecting stable and unstable regimes, along which the QGT evolves smoothly across Stokes lines.
