Abstract

It's known that if d2d^2 vectors from dd-dimensional Hilbert space HH form a SIC-POVM (SIC for short) then tensor square of those vectors form an equiangular tight frame on the symmetric subspace of HHH\otimes H. We prove that for any SIC of WH-type (Weyl-Heisenberg group covariant) this squared frame can be obtained as a projection of WH-type basis of HHH\otimes H onto the symmetric subspace. We give a full description of the set of all WH-type bases, so this set could be used as a search space for SIC solutions. Also we show that a particular element of this set is close to a SIC solution in some structural sense. Finally we give a geometric construction of a SIC-related symmetric tight fusion frames that were discovered in odd dimensions.
