May 29, 2020 at 12:35 comment added Mikael de la Salle @leomonsaingeon : I do not remember having heard of the Bures distance before your question (but I am no expert in Quantum information theory). But its definition makes perfect sense for infinite dimensional spaces (and more generally for any tracial von Neumann algebra), and I guess that most properties known for finite matrices remain true in this setting.
May 29, 2020 at 12:03 comment added leo monsaingeon Oh yes, merci encore, ça me tire une belle épine du pied! By the way, since you appear to be the expert here, and mostly out of curiosity: Have you ever heard of the Bures distance in the infinite-dimensional/operator-theoretical framework? It seems to be quite popular in information theory these days, and apparently plays a role in quantum mechanics, so I was just wondering... (Although I must admit I didn't particularly search the literature for this)

May 28, 2020 at 12:50 comment added leo monsaingeon Great, merci beaucoup Mikael! This $L^1$ version is even better than what I needed: I really was trying to control by $L^1$, but for some resaon I was convinced that $L^2$ should be used as an intermediate step. I guess I was wrong. Thank you again.
