In the quantum resource theory, finding the optimal quantum state within the convex combination of given quantum states that is closest to the target quantum state is not only a practical approach for quantifying quantum properties but also holds guiding significance for experimental operations. Common distance metrics for quantum states include trace distance, -norm, and fidelity, through which the optimal quantum state that is most indistinguishable from the target quantum state can be identified. In this paper, based on specific quantum coherence information tasks, we use the -coherence metric and -coherence metric to analyze and compare the approximation effects of optimal quantum states based on these three state distances, and clarify the applicable range of each distance metric. Furthermore, we find that the optimal quantum state approximation based on fidelity can always preserve more skew-information coherence, which gives it an advantage in quantum information tasks that consume skew-information coherence. This also indirectly verifies the correlation between the fidelity distance metric and skew-information coherence to some extent. The choice of state distance also depends on different quantum information tasks, which consume different quantum resources. In this paper, we consider two quantum resources: skew-information coherence and average skew-information coherence . When the given quantum state is in the set, no state distance metric can preserve the skew-information coherence , but all of them retain a certain amount of average skew-information coherence . Among them, the optimal approximation based on fidelity exhibits the best preservation effect. From the distance, it is found that when the range of the analytical solution is and where x, y, and z refer to the Bloch vector of the target quantum state , the optimal approximation based on the trace norm always preserves more skew-information coherence than that based on the -norm. However, the average skew-information coherence exhibits multiple scenarios, which specifically depend on the parameter settings of the target quantum state . Our research not only presents the analytical solutions for the optimal skew-information coherence of the optimally approximated states under the three state distance metrics, providing theoretical guidance and practical references for specific experimental operations, but also demonstrates the internal connections among various resource metrics in quantum resource theory.
