Abstract

We introduce the von Neumann entropy regularization of Unbalanced Non-commutative Optimal Transport, specifically Non-commutative Optimal Transport between semi-definite positive matrices (not necessarily with trace one). We prove the existence of a minimizer, compute the weak dual formulation and prove Γ\Gamma-convergence results, demonstrating convergence to both Unbalanced Non-commutative Optimal Transport (as the Entropy-regularization parameter tends to zero) and von Neumann entropy regularized Non-commutative Optimal Transport problems (as the unbalanced penalty parameter tends to infinity). To draw an analogy to the Non-commutative case, we provide a concise introduction of the static formulation of Unbalanced Optimal Transport between positive measures and bounded cost
