Exploring the geometry of qutrit state space using symmetric informationally complete probabilities
arXiv:1304.8075 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.88.012131
Abstract
We examine the geometric structure of qutrit state space by identifying the outcome probabilities of symmetric informationally complete (SIC) measurements with quantum states. We categorize the infinitely many qutrit SICs into eight SIC families corresponding to independent orbits of the extended Clifford group. Every SIC can be uniquely identified from a set of geometric invariants that we use to establish several properties of the convex body of qutrits, which include a simple formula describing its extreme points, an expression for the rotation between the probability vectors for distinct qutrit SICs, and a polar equation for its boundary states.
