We compare bipartite (Euclidean) matching problems in classical and quantum mechanics. The quantum case is treated in terms of a quantum version of the Wasserstein distance introduced in [F. Golse, C. Mouhot, T. Paul, Commun. Math. Phys.…
The convergence rate in Wasserstein distance is estimated for the empirical measures of symmetric semilinear SPDEs. Unlike in the finite-dimensional case that the convergence is of algebraic order in time, in the present situation the…
In this paper we introduce a Wasserstein-type distance on the set of Gaussian mixture models. This distance is defined by restricting the set of possible coupling measures in the optimal transport problem to Gaussian mixture models. We…
Assume that an agent models a financial asset through a measure Q with the goal to price / hedge some derivative or optimize some expected utility. Even if the model Q is chosen in the most skilful and sophisticated way, she is left with…
Quantifying how far the output of a learning algorithm is from its target is an essential task in machine learning. However, in quantum settings, the loss landscapes of commonly used distance metrics often produce undesirable outcomes such…
Peccati, Sole, Taqqu, and Utzet recently combined Stein's method and Malliavin calculus to obtain a bound for the Wasserstein distance of a Poisson functional and a Gaussian random variable. Convergence in the Wasserstein distance always…

Probability distributions play a central role in quantum mechanics, and even more so in quantum optics with its rich diversity of theoretically conceivable and experimentally accessible quantum states of light. Quantifiers that compare two…
We study aspects of the Wasserstein distance in the context of self-similar measures. Computing this distance between two measures involves minimising certain moment integrals over the space of \emph{couplings}, which are measures on the…
In this note, we give a simple derivation of the formula obtained in Dowson and Landau (1982), Olkin and Pukelsheim (1982) and Givens and Shortt (1984) for the quadratic Wasserstein distance between two Gaussian distributions on $\R^d$ with…
Wasserstein distances provide a metric on a space of probability measures. We consider the space $\Omega$ of all probability measures on the finite set $\chi = \{1, \dots ,n\}$ where $n$ is a positive integer. 1-Wasserstein distance,…
Persistence diagrams are a useful tool from topological data analysis which can be used to provide a concise description of a filtered topological space. What makes them even more useful in practice is that they come with a notion of a…
