How do we compute the even cohomology $H^{2i}(Q)$ of the affine hyperquadric?

Consider the affine hyperquadric $Q:=\biggl\{(z_1,...,z_{n+1})\in\mathbb{C}^{n+1}\biggl|\sum_{i=1}^{n+1}z_i^2=1\biggr\}\cong TS^n$.

What is a reasonable Kähler metric for $Q$? Furthermore, what is the curvature form $\Omega$ on $Q$? Hence, compute the Chern classes of $Q$. Given this, how do we compute $\chi(Q,\mathcal{O}_Q)$?


If you down-vote, please explain why so I can improve the question. It is better to have constructive criticism rather than being blindly down-voted, which seems to be a common occurrence on this site.
