SIC dimension towers via cyclotomic polynomials

Gary McConnell

We prove a structure theorem for the dimension towers~ which arise in the number-theoretic formulation of Zauner's SIC-POVM conjecture over a real quadratic fi…

How Stark units enter SIC overlaps

Ingemar Bengtsson, Gary McConnell

It has been observed that the mutual scalar products of the vectors in a SIC-POVM are given by algebraic units, and at least in some cases by square roots of Stark units. The full…

Some new infinite families of non--rational real quadratic fields

Gary McConnell

Fix a finite collection of primes , not containing or . Using some observations which arose from attempts to solve the SIC-POVMs problem in quantum information, w…

SIC-POVMs from Stark Units: Dimensions n^2+3=4p, p prime

Ingemar Bengtsson, Markus Grassl, Gary McConnell

The existence problem for maximal sets of equiangular lines (or SICs) in complex Hilbert space of dimension remains largely open. In a previous publication (arXiv:2112.05552) w…

SIC-POVMs from Stark units: Prime dimensions n^2+3

Marcus Appleby, Ingemar Bengtsson, Markus Grassl +2

We propose a recipe for constructing a SIC fiducial vector in complex Hilbert space of dimension of the form , focussing on prime dimensions . Such structures are sho…

Evidence for and against Zauner's MUB Conjecture in

Gary McConnell, Harry Spencer, Afaq Tahir

The problem of finding provably maximal sets of mutually unbiased bases in , for composite dimensions which are not prime powers, remains completely open. In the…
