Abstract: A real binary tensor consists of $2^d$ real entries arranged into hypercube format $2^{imesd}$. For $d=2$, a real binary tensor is a $2imes2$ matrix with two singular values. Their product is the determinant. We generalize this formula for any $dge2$. Given a partition $muvdashd$ and a $mu$-symmetric real binary tensor $t$, we study the distance function from $t$ to the variety $X_{mu,mathbbR}$ of $mu$-symmetric real binary tensors of rank one. The study of the local minima of this function is related to the computation of the singular values of $t$. Denoting with $X_{m}u$ the complexification of $X_{mu,mathbbR}$, the Euclidean Distance polynomial $mathrm{EDpoly}_{X_m{u}^{v}ee,t}(epsilo{n}^2)$ of the dual variety of $X_{m}u$ at $t$ has among its roots the singular values of $t$. On one hand, the lowest coefficient of $mathrm{EDpoly}_{X_m{u}^{v}ee,t}(epsilo{n}^2)$ is the square of the $mu$-discriminant of $t$ times a product of sum of squares polynomials. On the other hand, we describe the variety of $mu$-symmetric binary tensors that do not admit the maximum number of singular values, counted with multiplicity. Finally, we compute symbolically all the coefficients of $mathrm{EDpoly}_{X_m{u}^{v}ee,t}(epsilo{n}^2)$ for tensors of format $2imes2imes2$.
