Degwekar, Rothblum, and Vasudevan (TCC 2019) extended the  containment of SDP beyond the polarizing regime via the time-bounded distribution testing problems with respect to the triangular discrimination and the Jensen-Shannon divergence.  \nOur work introduces\n                    <jats:italic>proper<\/jats:italic>\n                    quantum analogs for these problems by defining quantum counterparts for triangular discrimination. We investigate whether the quantum analogs behave similarly to their classical counterparts and examine the limitations of existing approaches to polarization regarding quantum distances. These new -complete problems improve  containments of QSDP beyond the polarizing regime and establish a simple -hardness for the quantum entropy difference problem (QEDP) defined by Ben-Aroya, Schwartz, and Ta-Shma (ToC 2010). \nFurthermore, we prove that QSDP with some exponentially small errors is in , while the same problem without error is in .\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00037-025-00273-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,17]],"date-time":"2025-09-17T04:48:24Z","timestamp":1758084504000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Quantum state testing beyond the polarizing regime and quantum triangular discrimination"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Yupan","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"273_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Leonard M Adleman, Jonathan Demarrais & Ming-Deh A Huang (1997).
