Classification conjecture for mutually unbiased basis triplets in dimension six
Classification conjecture for mutually unbiased basis triplets in dimension six
Let be an MUB-triplet in dimension , and let two MUB-triplets be permutationally unitary equivalent when they are related by the equivalence relation used in the construction referenced as . Let denote the Szöllősi family, let denote the Fourier family, let denote its transposed family, and let denote the specified isolated Hadamard matrix. The transition matrices are
Classification conjecture. Any MUB-triplet in dimension is permutationally unitary equivalent to an MUB-triplet obtained by the construction . In particular, there are two essentially different cases: a -parameter family of MUB-triplets, described in Szöllősi (year not given), in which one transition matrix belongs to the Szöllősi family , one belongs to the Fourier family , and one belongs to the transposed family ; or an isolated MUB-triplet in which all three transition matrices are equivalent to .
The conjecture is motivated by numerical experiments on numerically obtained MUB-triplets: every one was, up to numerical tolerance, equivalent to a triplet from the stated construction. The numerical evidence does not establish the classification, so the general claim remains open.
