Existence of cyclic 2-designs in every dimension at least 3

From papers

Let a cyclic tt-design in dimension dd be a finite orbit of a unitary acting on quantum states whose decohered probability vectors form a simplex tt-design. Cyclic 2-design existence conjecture. For d3d\geq 3, a cyclic tt-design exists for t=1t=1 or t=2t=2. The claim is presented as a corollary of the preceding conjectural lower-bound and monotonicity discussion; cyclic 2-designs are constructively known in the dimensions covered by the explicit construction, but the assertion for every d3d\geq 3 remains open.
