  text: 'This paper establishes new connections between many-body quantum systems,
    One-body Reduced Density Matrices Functional Theory (1RDMFT) and Optimal Transport
    (OT), by interpreting the problem of computing the ground-state energy of a finite-dimensional
    composite quantum system at positive temperature as a non-commutative entropy
    regularized Optimal Transport problem. We develop a new approach to fully characterize
    the dual-primal solutions in such non-commutative setting. The mathematical formalism
    is particularly relevant in quantum chemistry: numerical realizations of the many-electron
    ground-state energy can be computed via a non-commutative version of Sinkhorn
    algorithm. Our approach allows to prove convergence and robustness of this algorithm,
    which, to our best knowledge, were unknown even in the two marginal case. Our
    methods are based on a priori estimates in the dual problem, which we believe
    to be of independent interest. Finally, the above results are extended in 1RDMFT
    setting, where bosonic or fermionic symmetry conditions are enforced on the problem.'

  text: "This paper deals with the large-scale behaviour of dynamical optimal transport
    on Zd\r\n-periodic graphs with general lower semicontinuous and convex energy
    densities. Our main contribution is a homogenisation result that describes the
    effective behaviour of the discrete problems in terms of a continuous optimal
    transport problem. The effective energy density can be explicitly expressed in
    terms of a cell formula, which is a finite-dimensional convex programming problem
    that depends non-trivially on the local geometry of the discrete graph and the
    discrete energy density. Our homogenisation result is derived from a Γ\r\n-convergence
    result for action functionals on curves of measures, which we prove under very
    mild growth conditions on the energy density. We investigate the cell formula
    in several cases of interest, including finite-volume discretisations of the Wasserstein
    distance, where non-trivial limiting behaviour occurs."

  text: We consider finite-volume approximations of Fokker--Planck equations on bounded
    convex domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and study the corresponding gradient flow structures.
    We reprove the convergence of the discrete to continuous Fokker--Planck equation
    via the method of evolutionary $\Gamma$-convergence, i.e., we pass to the limit
    at the level of the gradient flow structures, generalizing the one-dimensional
    result obtained by Disser and Liero. The proof is of variational nature and relies
    on a Mosco convergence result for functionals in the discrete-to-continuum limit
    that is of independent interest. Our results apply to arbitrary regular meshes,
    even though the associated discrete transport distances may fail to converge to
    the Wasserstein distance in this generality.

  text: "This PhD thesis is primarily focused on the study of discrete transport problems,
    introduced for the first time in the seminal works of Maas [Maa11] and Mielke
    [Mie11] on finite state Markov chains and reaction-diffusion equations, respectively.
    More in detail, my research focuses on the study of transport costs on graphs,
    in particular the convergence and the stability of such problems in the discrete-to-continuum
    limit. This thesis also includes some results concerning\r\nnon-commutative optimal
    transport. The first chapter of this thesis consists of a general introduction
    to the optimal transport problems, both in the discrete, the continuous, and the
    non-commutative setting. Chapters 2 and 3 present the content of two works, obtained
    in collaboration with Peter Gladbach, Eva Kopfer, and Jan Maas, where we have
    been able to show the convergence of discrete transport costs on periodic graphs
    to suitable continuous ones, which can be described by means of a homogenisation
    result. We first focus on the particular case of quadratic costs on the real line
    and then extending the result to more general costs in arbitrary dimension. Our
    results are the first complete characterisation of limits of transport costs on
    periodic graphs in arbitrary dimension which do not rely on any additional symmetry.
    In Chapter 4 we turn our attention to one of the intriguing connection between
    evolution equations and optimal transport, represented by the theory of gradient
    flows. We show that discrete gradient flow structures associated to a finite volume
    approximation of a certain class of diffusive equations (Fokker–Planck) is stable
    in the limit of vanishing meshes, reproving the convergence of the scheme via
    the method of evolutionary Γ-convergence and exploiting a more variational point
    of view on the problem. This is based on a collaboration with Dominik Forkert
    and Jan Maas. Chapter 5 represents a change of perspective, moving away from the
    discrete world and reaching the non-commutative one. As in the discrete case,
    we discuss how classical tools coming from the commutative optimal transport can
    be translated into the setting of density matrices. In particular, in this final
    chapter we present a non-commutative version of the Schrödinger problem (or entropic
    regularised optimal transport problem) and discuss existence and characterisation
    of minimisers, a duality result, and present a non-commutative version of the
    well-known Sinkhorn algorithm to compute the above mentioned optimisers. This
    is based on a joint work with Dario Feliciangeli and Augusto Gerolin. Finally,
    Appendix A and B contain some additional material and discussions, with particular
    attention to Harnack inequalities and the regularity of flows on discrete spaces."

  text: 'This paper establishes new connections between many-body quantum systems,
    One-body Reduced Density Matrices Functional Theory (1RDMFT) and Optimal Transport
    (OT), by interpreting the problem of computing the ground-state energy of a finite
    dimensional composite quantum system at positive temperature as a non-commutative
    entropy regularized Optimal Transport problem. We develop a new approach to fully
    characterize the dual-primal solutions in such non-commutative setting. The mathematical
    formalism is particularly relevant in quantum chemistry: numerical realizations
    of the many-electron ground state energy can be computed via a non-commutative
    version of Sinkhorn algorithm. Our approach allows to prove convergence and robustness
    of this algorithm, which, to our best knowledge, were unknown even in the two
    marginal case. Our methods are based on careful a priori estimates in the dual
    problem, which we believe to be of independent interest. Finally, the above results
    are extended in 1RDMFT setting, where bosonic or fermionic symmetry conditions
    are enforced on the problem.'

  text: This paper deals with dynamical optimal transport metrics defined by spatial
    discretisation of the Benamou–Benamou formula for the Kantorovich metric . Such
    metrics appear naturally in discretisations of -gradient flow formulations for
    dissipative PDE. However, it has recently been shown that these metrics do not
    in general converge to , unless strong geometric constraints are imposed on the
    discrete mesh. In this paper we prove that, in a 1-dimensional periodic setting,
    discrete transport metrics converge to a limiting transport metric with a non-trivial
    effective mobility. This mobility depends sensitively on the geometry of the mesh
    and on the non-local mobility at the discrete level. Our result quantifies to
    what extent discrete transport can make use of microstructure in the mesh to reduce
    the cost of transport.

  text: We consider finite-volume approximations of Fokker-Planck equations on bounded
    convex domains in R^d and study the corresponding gradient flow structures. We
    reprove the convergence of the discrete to continuous Fokker-Planck equation via
    the method of Evolutionary Γ-convergence, i.e., we pass to the limit at the level
    of the gradient flow structures, generalising the one-dimensional result obtained
    by Disser and Liero. The proof is of variational nature and relies on a Mosco
    convergence result for functionals in the discrete-to-continuum limit that is
    of independent interest. Our results apply to arbitrary regular meshes, even though
    the associated discrete transport distances may fail to converge to the Wasserstein
    distance in this generality.
