In machine learning and particularly in topological data analysis, $\epsilon$-graphs are important tools but are generally hard to compute as the distance calculation between n points takes time O(n^2) classically. Recently, quantum…

Precipitating a notion emerging from recent research, we formalise the study of a special class of compact quantum metric spaces. Abstractly, the additional requirement we impose on the underlying order unit spaces is the Riesz…

We explore the distinctions between $L^p$ convergence of metric tensors on a fixed Riemannian manifold versus Gromov-Hausdorff, uniform, and intrinsic flat convergence of the corresponding sequence of metric spaces. We provide a number of…

As is well known, classical systems approximate quantum ones -- but how well? We introduce a definition of a "distance" on classical and quantum phase spaces that offers a measure of their separation. Such a distance scale provides a means…

We discuss the relation between the Wasserstein distance of order 1 between probability distributions on a metric space, arising in the study of Monge-Kantorovich transport problem, and the spectral distance of noncommutative geometry.…

The motion of a quantum particle constrained to a two-dimensional non-compact Riemannian manifold with non-trivial metric can be described by a flat-space Schroedinger-type equation at the cost of introducing local mass and metric and…

In this paper we study isometries of quantum Wasserstein distances and divergences on the quantum bit state space. We describe isometries with respect to the symmetric quantum Wasserstein divergence $d_{sym}$, the divergence induced by all…

We study properties of metric segments in the class of all metric spaces considered up to an isometry, endowed with Gromov--Hausdorff distance. On the isometry classes of all compact metric spaces, the Gromov-Hausdorff distance is a metric.…

We propose protocols for determining the distances in Hilbert space between pure and mixed quantum states prepared on a quantum computer. In the case of pure quantum states, the protocol is based on measuring the square of modulus of scalar…

What is the distance between two points in spacetime? This is a basic geometric question, which so far has no single, definitive answer. Unlike their Riemannian cousins, Lorentzian manifolds are not known to carry a canonical distance…

We prove three structural impossibility results demonstrating that fuzzy metric spaces cannot capture essential features of quantum state geometry. First, we show they cannot model destructive interference between concepts due to phase…

We discuss the analogy between collapsing Conformal Field Theories and measured Gromov-Hausdorff limit of Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature. Motivated by this analogy we propose the notion of non-commutative…

Non-invertible symmetries of a quantum field theory (QFT) are a natural generalization of unitary symmetries, but in which the product of operators does not satisfy a group multiplication law. We show that such symmetry operations on states…

Gromov-Hausdorff distances measure shape difference between the objects representable as compact metric spaces, e.g. point clouds, manifolds, or graphs. Computing any Gromov-Hausdorff distance is equivalent to solving an NP-Hard…

We show that for each $\gamma \in (0,2)$, there is a unique metric (i.e., distance function) associated with $\gamma$-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG). More precisely, we show that for the whole-plane Gaussian free field (GFF) $h$, there is…
