On Sic-povms and Mubs in Dimension 6

چکیده
We provide a partial solution to the problem of constructing mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) and symmetric informationally complete POVMs (SIC-POVMs) in non-prime-power dimensions. An algebraic description of a SIC-POVM in dimension six is given. Furthermore it is shown that several sets of three mutually unbiased bases in dimension six are maximal, i.e., cannot be extended.

SIC-POVMs exist in all dimensions
The most general type of measurement in a quantum system is a Positive Operator Valued Measure (POVM). In order for the POVM to completely determine the quantum state being measured it must be Informationally Complete. Maximal independence of outcomes is critical in Cryptographic applications [7], thus the pairwise inner products of the POVM elements need to be uniform. Thus we are interested i...
متن کاملMUBs: From Finite Projective Geometry to Quantum Phase Enciphering
This short note highlights the most prominent mathematical problems and physical questions associated with the existence of the maximum sets of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in the Hilbert space of a given dimension. Introduction Technical problems in quantum information theory already connect such distinct disciplines as number theory, abstract algebra and projective geometry. For a partial l...
متن کاملConstruction of all general symmetric informationally complete measurements
We construct the set of all general (i.e. not necessarily rank 1) symmetric informationally complete (SIC) positive operator valued measures (POVMs), and thereby show that SIC-POVMs that are not necessarily rank 1 exist in any finite dimension d. In particular, we show that any orthonormal basis of a real vector space of dimension d 2 − 1 corresponds to some general SIC POVM and vice versa. Our...
متن کاملOn Approximately Symmetric Informationally Complete Positive Operator-Valued Measures and Related Systems of Quantum States
We address the problem of constructing positive operator-valued measures (POVMs) in finite dimension n consisting of n2 operators of rank one which have an inner product close to uniform. This is motivated by the related question of constructing symmetric informationally complete POVMs (SIC-POVMs) for which the inner products are perfectly uniform. However, SIC-POVMs are notoriously hard to con...
متن کاملOn SIC-POVMs in Prime Dimensions
The generalized Pauli group and its normalizer, the Clifford group, have a rich mathematical structure which is relevant to the problem of constructing symmetric informationally complete POVMs (SIC-POVMs). To date, almost every known SIC-POVM fiducial vector is an eigenstate of a “canonical” unitary in the Clifford group. I show that every canonical unitary in prime dimensions p > 3 lies in the...
