Multiqubit UPB: The method of formally orthogonal matrices

Quantum Physics 2024-01-23 v2

Abstract

We use formal matrices whose entries we view as vector variables taking unit vectors values in one-qubit Hilbert spaces of a multiqubit quantum system. We construct many unextendible product bases (UPBs) of new sizes in such systems and provide a new construction of UPBs of nn qubits of cardinality n+1n+1 when n3(mod4)n\equiv 3 \pmod{4}. We also give a new method of constructing multiqubit entangled states with all partial transposes positive.
