Abstract

Mutually Unbiased Bases (MUBs) are closely connected with quantum physics, and the structure has a rich mathematical background. We provide equivalent criteria for extending a set of MUBs for CnC^n by studying real points of a certain affine algebraic variety. This variety comes from the relations that determine the extendability of a system of MUBs. Finally, we show that some part of this variety gives rise to complete intersection domains. Further, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between MUBs and the maximal commuting classes (bases) of orthogonal normal matrices in Mn(C)\mathcal M_n({\mathbb{C}}). It means that for mm MUBs in CnC^n, there are mm commuting classes, each consisting of nn commuting orthogonal normal matrices and the existence of maximal commuting basis for Mn(C)\mathcal M_n({\mathbb{C}}) ensures the complete set of MUBs in Mn(C)\mathcal M_n({\mathbb{C}}).
