Despite the growing interest, there remains an ongoing debate about whether these systems outperform their Hermitian counterparts in practical applications, and if so, by what metrics this performance should be measured. We developed P<\/mml:mi>T<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>-symmetric approach for mapping N<\/mml:mi>=<\/mml:mo>3<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math> pure qubit states to address this, implemented it using the dilation method, and demonstrated it on a superconducting quantum processor from the IBM Quantum Experience. For the first time, we derived exact expressions for the population of the post-selected P<\/mml:mi>T<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>-symmetric subspace for both N<\/mml:mi>=<\/mml:mo>2<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math> and N<\/mml:mi>=<\/mml:mo>3<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math> states. When applied to the discrimination of N<\/mml:mi>=<\/mml:mo>2<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math> pure states, our algorithm provides an equivalent result to the conventional unambiguous quantum state discrimination. For N<\/mml:mi>=<\/mml:mo>3<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math> states, our approach introduces novel capabilities not available in traditional Hermitian systems, enabling the transformation of an arbitrary set of three pure quantum states into another, at the cost of introducing an inconclusive outcome. Our algorithm has the same error rate for the attack on the three-state QKD protocol as the conventional minimum error, maximum confidence, and maximum mutual information strategies. For post-selected quantum metrology, our results provide precise conditions where P<\/mml:mi>T<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>-symmetric quantum sensors outperform their Hermitian counterparts in terms of information-cost rate. Combined with punctuated unstructured quantum database search, our method significantly reduces the qubit readout requirements at the cost of adding an ancilla, while maintaining the same average number of oracle calls as the original punctuated Grover's algorithm. Our work opens new pathways for applying P<\/mml:mi>T<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math> symmetry in quantum communications, computing, and cryptography.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.22331\/q-2025-04-18-1716","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,18]],"date-time":"2025-04-18T13:34:26Z","timestamp":1744983266000},"page":"1716","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.22331\/q-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["P<\/mml:mi>T<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>-symmetric mapping of three states and its implementation on a cloud quantum processor"],"prefix":"10.22331","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7582-6232","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaroslav","family":"Balytskyi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Astronomy, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, 48201, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4997-620X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yevgen","family":"Kotukh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Technologies, Yevhenii Bereznyak Military Academy, Kyiv, 04050, Ukraine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2054-9186","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gennady","family":"Khalimov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Security, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, Kharkiv, 61166, Ukraine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5736-5823","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sang-Yoon","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80918, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"9598","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"J.
