We develop a unified framework for analyzing the complexity of quantum property testing through functionals of the form $\mathcal{L}_φ(ρ) = \operatorname{tr}(φ(dρ))/d$, where $ρ$ is an unknown $d$-dimensional quantum state and $φ$ is a given function. A master theorem is established that derives sample complexity lower bounds for estimating $\mathcal{L}_φ(ρ)$ from properties of $φ$, combining Haar-random moment encoding with moment matching and best polynomial approximation. Corresponding query complexity lower bounds follow from quantum sample-to-query lifting. The framework yields (nearly) tight bounds for a broad class of problems, including entropy estimation (von Neumann, Rényi, and Tsallis), closeness estimation (trace distance and Uhlmann fidelity), spectrum estimation, rank testing (operator rank, Schmidt rank, and matrix product states). In particular, combined with known upper bounds, we show that the sample complexity of von Neumann entropy estimation is \[ Θ\!\left(\frac{d^2}{\varepsilon\log^2(d)\max\{1, \varepsilon\log^2(d)\}} + \frac{\log^2(d)}{\varepsilon^2}\right), \] and the sample complexity of spectrum estimation is \[ Θ\!\left(\frac{d^2}{\varepsilon^2\log^2(d)\max\{1, \varepsilon^2\log^2(d)\}}\right). \] In summary, our results resolve several open problems and establish the optimality of 37 quantum algorithms since 2015, up to constant or polylogarithmic factors.
