DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jan Maas\nhosted by Laszlo Erdös\nAbstract: The probl
 em of Optimal Transport is easily stated: how should one transfer mass fro
 m given initial locations to prescribed target locations\, in such a way t
 hat the total transport cost is minimised?This venerable optimisation prob
 lem plays an important role in recent development in mathematics\, at the 
 interface of areas as metric geometry\, probability theory\, and partial d
 ifferential equations.Moreover\, optimal transport receives renewed intere
 st due to applications in data analysis and machine learning.In this talk 
 we give a short introduction to the topic and present some recent contribu
 tions to the area: firstly\, we discuss the discrete-to-continuous limit o
 f dynamical optimal transport and show a homogenisation result in this con
 text\; secondly\, we present a non-commutative extension of optimal transp
 ort that yields a variational structure in dissipative quantum systems.
