Conjecture on small complex Hadamard matrices with noncommutative entries

A complex Hadamard matrix is a square matrix whose entries are unitary elements of a unital CC^*-algebra and whose distinct rows and columns are orthogonal. In the size-four case, Proposition 1.8 gives a family of such matrices; an entry is self-adjoint when it equals its adjoint.

Small-size classification conjecture. The matrices in Proposition 1.8 are the only 4×44\times4 Hadamard matrices, and there is no 5×55\times5 Hadamard matrix with self-adjoint entries.

This proposes a classification in size four and rules out the specified self-adjoint examples in size five. The supplied text gives no resolution status for either assertion.
