A Constructive Approach to Zauner's Conjecture via the Stark Conjectures

M Appleby, ST Flammia, GS Kopp - arxiv preprint arxiv:2501.03970, 2025 - arxiv.org
We propose a construction of $ d^ 2$ complex equiangular lines in $\mathbb {C}^ d $, also
known as SICPOVMs, which were conjectured by Zauner to exist for all d. The construction …

Tight frames, Hadamard matrices and Zauner's conjecture

M Appleby, I Bengtsson, S Flammia… - Journal of Physics A …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We show that naturally associated to a SIC (symmetric informationally complete positive
operator valued measure or SIC-POVM) in dimension d there are a number of higher …

Equi-isoclinic subspaces from symmetry

M Fickus, JW Iverson, J Jasper, DG Mixon - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We describe a flexible technique that constructs tight fusion frames with prescribed transitive
symmetry. Applying this technique with representations of the symmetric and alternating …

Modular Welch bounds with applications

KM Krishna - arxiv preprint arxiv:2201.00319, 2022 - arxiv.org
We prove the following two results.\begin {enumerate}\item Let $\mathcal {A} $ be a unital
commutative C*-algebra and $\mathcal {A}^ d $ be the standard Hilbert C*-module over …

Optimal arrangements of classical and quantum states with limited purity

BG Bodmann, EJ King - Journal of the London Mathematical …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We consider sets of trace‐normalized non‐negative operators in Hilbert–Schmidt balls that
maximize their mutual Hilbert–Schmidt distance; these are optimal arrangements in the sets …

A Note on Totally Symmetric Equi-Isoclinic Tight Fusion Frames

M Fickus, JW Iverson, J Jasper… - ICASSP 2022-2022 …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Consider the fundamental problem of arranging r-dimensional subspaces of R d in such a
way that maximizes the minimum distance between unit vectors in different subspaces. It is …

Metric Problems in Projective and Grassmann Spaces

B Et-Taoui - Surveys in Geometry II, 2024 - Springer
In this chapter, several metric problems in projective and Grassmann spaces are presented,
such as the determination of their congruence order and their superposability order. For that …

On the optimal arrangement of lines in

K Fallon, JW Iverson - arxiv preprint arxiv:2312.09975, 2023 - arxiv.org
We show the optimal coherence of $2 d $ lines in $\mathbb {C}^{d} $ is given by the Welch
bound whenever a skew Hadamard of order $ d+ 1$ exists. Our proof uses a variant of …

Abstract In 1992, Godsil and Hensel published a ground-breaking study of distance-regular
antipodal covers of the complete graph that, among other things, introduced an important …
