Abstract
Quantum Wasserstein divergences are modified versions of quantum Wasserstein distances defined by channels and they have been conjectured to be genuine metrics on quantum state spaces by De Palma and Trevisan. We prove triangle inequality for quantum Wasserstein divergences for every quantum system described by a separable Hilbert space and any quadratic cost operator under the assumption that a particular state involved is pure and all the states have finite energy. We also provide strong numerical evidence suggesting that the triangle inequality holds in general for an arbitrary choice of states.
