Abstract
The complex projective space P(Cn) can be interpreted as the space of all quantum pure states of size n. A distance on this space, interesting from the perspective of quantum physics, can be induced from a classical distance defined on the n-point probability simplex by the ‘earth mover problem’. We show that this construction leads to a quantity satisfying the triangle inequality, which yields a true distance on complex projective space belonging to the family of quantum 2-Wasserstein distances.
