Metrics on the space of $C^{*}$ algebras

I think that there is a metric on the huge space of all $C^{*}$ algebras. What is the explicit

definition of this metric?may you introduce me a reference?

Moreover is the restriction of this metric to commutative $C^{*}$ algebras gives us a discrete metric? by discrete I mean "every commutative $C^{*}$ algebra has a neighborhood, with respect to this metric, which contains no other commutative $C^{*}$ algebra"

What makes you think that such a metric exists? – Eric Wofsey Jan 1 '14 at 20:34
I heard this from a participant, when I was participating in a workshop on NCG.(about 9 years ago) – Ali Taghavi Jan 1 '14 at 20:44
I also heard this from an speaker who gave a talk on NCG about 6 years ago. I remember he said that this metric is defined by A. Connes. In that time I did not peruse the details. But now I am interested to know about this metric – Ali Taghavi Jan 1 '14 at 20:52

Probably the most standard metric is Banach-Mazur distance, and there is indeed a theorem due to Amir which says that if the Banach-Mazur distance between $C(K)$ and $C(L)$ is less than $2$ then $K$ and $L$ are homeomorphic. There's also something called the Kadets distance which is basically a linearized Gromov-Hausdorff distance. I don't know what the Kadets distance says about commutative C*-algebras.
Another possibility is the Kadison-Kastler metric on C*-subalgebras of $B(H)$, which is just the Hausdorff distance between their unit balls. This paper gives references to a number of results about stability under perturbation, which include the case where one of the algebras is separable and abelian; this paper generalizes to the case where one of the algebras is separable and nuclear.
