Entangled states of pseudoscalar mesons represent a very interesting tool for studying the foundations of quantum mechanics, e.g. for testing the Bell inequalities. Recently, they also emerged as a test bench for quantum information protocols. On the other hand, from a quantum information point of view, the characterization of the distance between two quantum states is a topic of the utmost importance. In this work, with the purpose of providing a useful tool for further investigations, we address the problem of which distance allows for a better discrimination between density matrices appearing in pseudoscalar phenomenology.
