Abstract Tingley's problem asks whether every surjective isometry between the unit spheres of two Banach spaces admits an extension to a real linear surjective isometry between the whole spaces. In this paper, we give an affirmative answer to Tingley's problem when both spaces are preduals of von Neumann algebras, the spaces of self-adjoint operators in von Neumann algebras or the spaces of self-adjoint normal functionals on von Neumann algebras. We also show that every surjective isometry between the unit spheres of unital C⁎-algebras restricts to a bijection between their unitary groups. In addition, we show that every surjective isometry between the normal state spaces or the normal quasi-state spaces of two von Neumann algebras extends to a linear surjective isometry.
