Complete Existence Classification of Seven-Partite Absolutely Maximally Entangled States

Quantum Physics 2026-08-02 v1

Abstract

We prove that an absolutely maximally entangled state of seven qudits exists if and only if the local dimension satisfies d3d\geq 3. Prior to this work, to the best of our knowledge, AME(7,d)\text{AME}(7,d) states were known to exist only when dd is a prime power other than 22, or when dd can be expressed as a product of dimensions for which existence was already known. Since it has been proved that no AME(7,2)\text{AME}(7,2) state exists, it remains to establish existence for all d3d\geq 3. We construct cyclic quadratic-phase states for every odd local dimension and develop a coupled binary--odd-dimensional construction for every dimension congruent to 22 modulo 44. Together with the known power-of-two cases and the product property of AME states, these constructions cover every local dimension d3d\geq 3.
