Zauner's conjecture on Weyl–Heisenberg covariant SICs

Let dd be a finite dimension, let ϕCd\ket{\phi}\in\mathbb{C}^d be a fiducial vector for a Weyl–Heisenberg covariant SIC, and let ZZ be the matrix with entries

jZk=eiξdτ2jk+j2.\bra{j}Z\ket{k}=\frac{e^{i\xi}}{\sqrt{d}}\,\tau^{2jk+j^2}.

Zauner's conjecture. In all finite dimensions there exists a fiducial vector for a Weyl–Heisenberg covariant SIC that is an eigenvector of ZZ.
