Zauner's weak conjecture on symmetric informationally complete measurements
Zauner's weak conjecture on symmetric informationally complete measurements
For each positive integer , a SIC POVM is a set of rank-one positive operators on that forms an informationally complete symmetric positive operator-valued measure; equivalently, unit vectors generate a SIC POVM when for all . Zauner's weak conjecture. For every positive integer , there exist unit vectors such that
for all . This is the SIC POVM existence problem. It remains open in general, although concrete solutions are known in many dimensions, including through , , , , , and .
