    According to the Tannaka-Krein principle for quantum groups there is a duality between Hopf algebras and tensor categories with duals. This has been constructed by Drinfeld and verified for type \(A\) quantum groups. The current paper formulates a framework for type \(B\) quantum groups in terms of quantum symmetric pairs, the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation and the Drinfeld twisting. Explicitly they construct three tensor categories for modules of quantum groups in type \(B\) using the aforementioned structures, and show their equivalence for the rank one case. The key is to understand the twist in all three constructions and the authors conjecture that the equivalence holds in general.
