The problem of finding provably maximal sets of mutually unbiased bases in $\mathbb{C}^d$, for composite dimensions $d$ which are not prime powers, remains completely open. In the first interesting case, $d=6$, Zauner predicted that there…
If the Laplacian matrix of a graph has a full set of orthogonal eigenvectors with entries $\pm1$, then the matrix formed by taking the columns as the eigenvectors is a Hadamard matrix and the graph is said to be Hadamard diagonalizable. In…
Let q be a power of 2. We show by representation theory that there exists a q x q unitary matrix of multiplicative order q+1 whose powers generate q+1 pairwise mutually unbiased base in C^q. When q is a power of an odd prime, there is a q x…
We study mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in which all the bases are unextendible maximally entangled ones. We first present a necessary and sufficient condition of constructing a pair of MUBs in $C^2 \otimes C^4$. Based on this condition, an…
The circulant real and complex matrices are used to find new real and complex conference matrices. With them we construct Sylvester inverse orthogonal matrices by doubling the size of inverse complex conference matrices. When the free…
A lemma by Chen et al. [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 50, 475304 (2017)] provides a necessary condition on the structure of any complex Hadamard matrix in a set of four mutually unbiased bases in $\mathbb{C}^6$. The proof of the lemma is shown…
In this paper, we obtain a number of new infinite families of Hadamard matrices. Our constructions are based on four new constructions of difference families with four or eight blocks. By applying the Wallis-Whiteman array or the Kharaghani…
A trade in a complex Hadamard matrix is a set of entries which can be changed to obtain a different complex Hadamard matrix. We show that in a real Hadamard matrix of order $n$ all trades contain at least $n$ entries. We call a trade…
Our main result is the construction of symmetric Hadamard matrices of order q(1 + q) where q is a prime power congruent to 3 mod 8.
Construction of a large class of Mutually Unbiased Bases (MUBs) for non-prime power composite dimensions ($d = k\times s$) is a long standing open problem, which leads to different construction methods for the class Approximate MUBs (AMUBs)…
A set of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) is said to be unextendible if there does not exist another basis that is unbiased with respect to the given set. Here, we prove the existence of smaller sets of MUBs in prime-squared dimensions…
In this paper we modify a fundamental block construction of Kharaghani and Seberry and show how to use certain circulant $\{-1,1\}$-matrices of odd order $p$ to construct a complex Hadamard matrix of order $2p$. In particular, for $p=47$ we…
We provide exact and asymptotic formulae for the number of unrestricted, respectively indecomposable, $d$-dimensional matrices where the sum of all matrix entries with one coordinate fixed equals 2.
A novel method to obtain parametrizations of complex inverse orthogonal matrices is provided. These matrices are natural generalizations of complex Hadamard matrices which depend on non zero complex parameters. The method we use is via…
Mutually unbiased bases for quantum degrees of freedom are central to all theoretical investigations and practical exploitations of complementary properties. Much is known about mutually unbiased bases, but there are also a fair number of…
It is shown that an n-dimensional unimodular lattice has minimal norm at most 2[n/24] +2, unless n = 23 when the bound must be increased by 1. This result was previously known only for even unimodular lattices. Quebbemann had extended the…
We construct two mutually unbiased bases by maximally entangled states (MUMEB$s$) in $\mathbb{C}^{2}\otimes \mathbb{C}^{3}$. This is the first example of MUMEB$s$ in $\mathbb{C}^{d}\otimes \mathbb{C}^{d'}$ when $d\nmid d'$, namely $d'$ is…
We consider the set $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb Z; H)$ of $n\times n$-matrices with integer elements of size at most $H$ and obtain a new upper bound on the number of matrices from $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb Z; H)$ with a given characteristic…
We study sets of pure states in a Hilbert space of dimension d which are mutually unbiased (MU), that is, the squares of the moduli of their scalar products are equal to zero, one, or 1/d. These sets will be called a MU constellation, and…
Consider the $n$th degree polynomial equation, $X^n+A_{n-1}X^{n-1}+...+A_1X+A_0=0$ over the ring of 2 by 2 complex matrices. If this equation has more than ${2n \choose 2}$ solutions, then it has infinitely many solutions. We show here that…
