Unextendible and strongly uncompletable product bases

Abstract

In 2003, DiVincenzo {\it et al}. put forward the question that whether there exists an unextendible product basis (UPB) which is an uncompletable product basis (UCPB) in every bipartition [\href{https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00220-003-0877-6}{DiVincenzo {\it et al}. Commun. Math. Phys. \textbf{238}, 379-410(2003)}]. Recently, Shi {\it et al}. presented a UPB in tripartite systems that is also a strongly uncompletable product basis (SUCPB) in every bipartition [\href{https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/ac9e14}{Shi {\it et al}. New J. Phys. \textbf{24}, 113-025 (2022)}]. However, whether there exist UPBs that are SUCPBs in only one or two bipartitions remains unknown. We provide a sufficient condition for the existence of SUCPBs based on a quasi U-tile structure. We analyze all possible cases about the relationship between UPBs and SUCPBs in tripartite systems. In particular, we construct a UPB with smaller size $d^3-3d^2+1$ in ${\mathbb{C}}^d\otimes {\mathbb{C}}^d\otimes {\mathbb{C}}^d$, which is an SUCPB in every bipartition and has a smaller cardinality than the existing one.
