This study establishes an analytical framework for optimal quantum transport by generalizing classical Monge theory using density matrices and completely positive maps. By introducing the "stote" mathematical object, researchers demonstrate a fundamental qualitative difference between resource distribution in quantum versus classical systems. This work advances the theoretical foundations of quantum information processing and thermodynamics without relying on experimental data.

Researchers calculate optimal quantum transport analytically

Researchers calculated costs for quantum transport, generalizing classical theory with density matrices and completely positive maps.

Matt Hoogsteder-Riera, John Calsamiglia, and Andreas Winter have calculated optimal quantum transport analytically by generalizing a classical cost theory. The researchers built on Monge’s classical work, replacing probability densities with and transport plans with “completely positive and trace preserving maps”. This work introduces a mathematical object called a “stote”, a combination of quantum state and process, to integrate these elements. The team demonstrates that this quantum transport cost differs from its classical counterpart, suggesting a fundamental departure in understanding…
