Abstract: We establish a Kantorovich duality for the pseudometric $mathcal{E}_{h}bar$ introduced in [F. Golse, T. Paul, Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 223 (2017), 57--94], obtained from the usual Monge-Kantorovich distance $d_{MK,2}$ between classical densities by quantization of one of the two densities involved. We show several type of inequalities comparing $d_{MK,2}$, $mathcal{E}_{h}bar$ and $M{K}_{h}bar$, a full quantum analogue of $d_{MK,2}$ introduced in [F. Golse, C. Mouhot, T. Paul, Commun. Math. Phys. 343 (2016), 165--205], including an up to $hbar$ triangle inequality for $M{K}_{h}bar$. Finally, we show that, when nice optimal Kantorovich potentials exist for $mathcal{E}_{h}bar$, optimal couplings induce classical/quantum optimal transports and the potentials are linked by a semiquantum Legendre type transform.
