Transforming an initial quantum state into a target state through the fastest possible route---a quantum brachistochrone---is a fundamental challenge for many technologies based on quantum mechanics. Here, we demonstrate fast coherent…

We analyze a quantum version of the Monge--Kantorovich optimal transport problem. The quantum transport cost related to a Hermitian cost matrix $C$ is minimized over the set of all bipartite coupling states $\rho^{AB}$ with fixed reduced…
