By using the pseudo-metric introduced in [F. Golse, T. Paul: Archive for Rational Mech. Anal. 223 (2017) 57-94], which is an analogue of the Wasserstein distance of exponent $2$ between a quantum density operator and a classical…
We show how one can obtain a class of quadratic Wasserstein metrics, that is to say, Wasserstein metrics of order 2, on the set of faithful normal states of a von Neumann algebra $A$, via transport plans, rather than through a dynamical…

In this work we study systems consisting of a group of moving particles. In such systems, often some important parameters are unknown and have to be estimated from observed data. Such parameter estimation problems can often be solved via a…
In this paper, we address the problem how to represent a classical data distribution in a quantum system. The proposed method is to learn quantum Hamiltonian that is such that its ground state approximates the given classical distribution.…
