contents We determine the isometry group of the $n$-qubit state space with respect to the quantum Wasserstein distance induced by the so-called symmetric transport cost for all $n \in \mathbb{N}.$ It turns out that the isometries are precisely the Wigner symmetries, that is, the unitary or anti-unitary conjugations.
