Having to do with continuous distributions, which are 'uniform' in the sense of being invariant under some relevant symmetry. In the case of quantum information theory, this usually relates to unitarily invariant distributions on single-qubit states, many-qubit states, single-qubit unitary transformations, or many-qubit unitary transformations.

How close or far apart are the distributions generated by two Haar random states?

Consider two $n$ qubit Haar-random quantum states $|\psi\rangle$ and $|\phi\rangle$. Let $D_{|\psi\rangle}$ and $D_{|\phi\rangle}$ be the two probability distributions (over $n$-bit strings) obtained …
