Abstract
We seek an analog for the quantum permutation group of the normalized Hamming distance for permutations. We define three distances on the tracial state space of that generalize the -Wasserstein distance of probability measures on equipped with the normalized Hamming metric, for which we demonstrate basic metric properties, subadditivity under convolution, and density of the Lipschitz elements in the -algebra.
