The Wasserstein distance is an indicator for the closeness of two probability distributions and is applied to various fields ranging from information theory to neural networks [1]. It is particularly useful to treat the geometry of the underlying space, such as tensor-product structures. In this journal club, I talk about one of the recent proposals on quantum extension of the Wasserstein distance [2]. After reviewing basic properties of classical Wasserstein distance, e.g., its relation to concentration phenomena, I discuss how they might be generalized to quantum realm.
