Abstract
We prove a new version of Egorov's theorem formulated in the Schr\"{o}dinger picture of quantum mechanics, using the -Wasserstein metric applied to the Husimi functions of quantum states. The special case corresponds to a "low-regularity" Egorov theorem, while larger values yield progressively stronger estimates. As a byproduct of our analysis, we prove an optimal transport inequality analogous to a result of Golse and Paul in the context of mean-field many-body quantum mechanics.
