Metrics between quantum states all share the property that they are calculated relying only on the vectorial structure of the space. This makes it so other potentially interesting properties of the states, such as energy, are ignored in these distinguishability measures. We aim to characterise a distance between quantum states that can take into account such properties. To this purpose, we are trying to extend the concept of transport metrics from probability distributions to density matrices. This rises some problems and questions that we aim to solve. In this talk, I will briefly explain the topic of both classical and quantum transport. I will explain our motivations and objectives as well as our latest attempts at fulfiling these objectives.
