The time evolution of the trace distance between two states of an open quantum system may increase due to initial system-environment correlations, thus exhibiting a breakdown of distance contractivity of the reduced dynamics. We analyze how the time evolution of the distance depends on the chosen distance measure. Here we elucidate the behavior of the trace distance, the Hilbert- Schmidt distance, the Bures distance, the Hellinger distance and the quantum Jensen-Shannon divergence for two system-environment setups, namely a qubit bi-linearly coupled to an infinite and a finite size environment with the latter composed of harmonic oscillators.
