Workshop Quantum Optimal Transport
and Applications (QOTTA) 2024
The theory of Optimal Transportation (OT) has provided a versatile mathematical tool for
addressing a diverse range of problems across various fields, including economics, computer
science, statistics and machine learning. In recent years, OT has been extended to noncommutative
state spaces, opening up new possibilities for its application in advanced
areas of Quantum Physics and Quantum Chemistry. However, these non-commutative OTs currently lack a unified
perspective, and numerous challenges remain unsolved, both theoretical and practical.
The Workshop Quantum Optimal Transport: Theory and Applications (QOTTA) aims to bring together leading experts from different areas of mathematics, ranging from analysis, probability theory and statistics, numerical analysis and
mathematical physics, to collaborate and develop innovative strategies and tools to tackle these challenges.
Participation of PhD students and Postdoc are highly encouraged. Interested participants must registering by the following form.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Cortona (Italy) in September 2024.

Registration
The registration is free but mandatory. Every interested participant must apply by completing the following application form (deadline July 1st for registration without funding).
Young researchers (e.g., PhD students and Postdocs) are warmly encourage to apply. Finantial support are available for some young participants to cover Hotel accomodation (shared room) and meals. The application for finantial support starts on November 15th 2023 and ends in April 1st 2024. The application package must include a CV and short paragraph on the motivation to participate at the workshop.
Due to space restrictions, the organizers will send an e-mail confirming participation no later than May 2024.
Finally, we recognize that despite the diversity of scientific communities and geographic provenance of the researchers that are part of this program, more needs to be done. The QOTTA Workshop will thus enthusiastically encourages participation from every possible direction in this respect, most notably from groups that are not yet well represented in STEM areas.
