Abstract

In this article, we give a first example of a pair of quantum isomorphic, non-isomorphic strongly regular graphs, that is, non-isomorphic strongly regular graphs having the same homomorphism counts from all planar graphs. The pair consists of the orthogonality graph of the 120120 lines spanned by the E8E_8 root system and a rank 44 graph whose complement was first discovered by Brouwer, Ivanov and Klin. Both graphs are strongly regular with parameters (120,63,30,36)(120, 63, 30, 36). Using Godsil-McKay switching, we obtain more quantum isomorphic, non-isomorphic strongly regular graphs with the same parameters.
