Conjecture on rank-two partial isometries being unitarily equivalent to complex symmetric matrices

From papers

Let TT be a partial isometry on a 44-dimensional complex Hilbert space, and suppose that RankT=2\operatorname{Rank} T=2. A matrix TT is unitarily equivalent to a complex symmetric matrix if there is a unitary matrix UU such that UTUU^*TU is equal to its transpose. Rank-two partial-isometry conjecture. Every rank-two 4×44\times 4 partial isometry is unitarily equivalent to a complex symmetric matrix. The cases of rank 00, 11, 33, and 44 are known, while the rank-two case was unresolved in the source and supported there only by computational testing of 100,000100{,}000 random examples.
