Non-Archimedean Zauner conjecture

Let K\mathbb{K} be a non-Archimedean field satisfying Equation (FU). For each dNd\in\mathbb{N}, consider vectors τ1,,τd2Kd\tau_1,\dots,\tau_{d^2}\in\mathbb{K}^d and the operator

Sτ:Kdxj=1d2x,τjτjKd.S_\tau:\mathbb{K}^d\ni x\mapsto\sum_{j=1}^{d^2}\langle x,\tau_j\rangle\tau_j\in\mathbb{K}^d.

Non-Archimedean Zauner conjecture. For every dNd\in\mathbb{N}, there exist such vectors satisfying τj,τj=1\langle\tau_j,\tau_j\rangle=1 for all 1jd21\leq j\leq d^2, with SτS_\tau diagonalizable, and

τj,τk2=n,1j,kd2, jk.|\langle\tau_j,\tau_k\rangle|^2=|n|,\qquad\forall\,1\leq j,k\leq d^2,\ j\neq k.

This is presented as the non-Archimedean analogue of the Zauner conjecture for equiangular configurations in Hilbert spaces and related settings. The preceding question asks more generally for which pairs (d,n)(d,n) configurations satisfying the non-Archimedean Welch-bound conditions exist; the conjecture specializes to n=d2n=d^2.
