Fu, Jinshi (author)In 2022, Golse and Paul defined a pseudometric for quantum optimal transport that extends the classical Wasserstein distance. They proved that the pseudometric satisfies the triangle inequality in certain cases. This thesis reviews their proof in the case where the middle point is a classical density. Motivated by that proof, we formulate the...master thesis 2024
