  In this paper, we will review the co-adjoint orbit formulation of finite
dimensional quantum mechanics, and in this framework, we will interpret the
notion of quantum Fisher information index (and metric). Following previous
work of part of the authors, who introduced the definition of Fisher
information tensor, we will show how its antisymmetric part is the pullback of
the natural Kostant-Kirillov-Souriau symplectic form along some natural
diffeomorphism. In order to do this, we will need to understand the symmetric
logarithmic derivative as a proper 1-form, settling the issues about its very
definition and explicit computation. Moreover, the fibration of co-adjoint
orbits, seen as spaces of mixed states, is also discussed.
