A new notion of displacement convexity on a matrix level is developed for density flows arising from mean-field games, compressible Euler equations, entropic interpolation, and semi-classical limits of non-linear Schr\"odinger equations.…

The dynamical evolution of an open quantum system can be governed by the Lindblad equation of the density matrix. In this paper, we propose to characterize the density matrix topology by the topological invariant of its modular Hamiltonian.…
