Zauner's conjecture on maximal complex equiangular tight frames
Zauner's conjecture on maximal complex equiangular tight frames
Let . An equiangular tight frame (ETF) in with vectors is denoted by ; the maximal possible number of vectors in the complex case is . Zauner's conjecture. There exists an equiangular tight frame for every . These maximal ETFs are also called symmetric, informationally complete, positive operator-valued measures (SIC-POVMs) and are important in quantum Bayesianism, quantum state tomography, and quantum cryptography. Their existence is conjectured in every dimension, but the general existence question remains open.
