"Schrödinger Bridges and Monge-Kantorovich Transport for Classical and..." by Tryphon T. Georgiou

Title: Schrödinger Bridges and Monge-Kantorovich Transport for Classical and Quantum Dynamics
Abstract:
The talk will give an introduction to Schrödinger Bridges in a way that highlights connections and parallels to the problem of Optimal Mass Transport. Our exposition will highlight key ideas behind particular non-commutative formulations of both problems that will follow and be discussed in the talk.
