Mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) are a crucial ingredient for many protocols in quantum information processing. Measurements performed in these bases are unbiased to the maximally possible extent, which is used to prove randomness or secrecy…
We consider questions posed in a recent paper of Mandayam, Bandyopadhyay, Grassl and Wootters [10] on the nature of "unextendible mutually unbiased bases." We describe a conceptual framework to study these questions, using a connection…
Mutually unbiased bases (MUB) are useful in a number of research areas. The symmetry of MUB is an elusive and interesting subject. A (complete set of) MUB in dimension $d$ is sharply covariant if it can be generated by a group of order…
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 complete orthonormal basis of N-qutrit unitary operators drawn from the Pauli Group consists of the identity and 9^N-1 traceless operators. The traceless ones partition into 3^N+1 maximally commuting subsets (MCS's) of 3^N-1 operators…
We study fine-grained uncertainty relations for several quantum measurements in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. The proposed approach is based on exact calculation or estimation of the spectral norms of corresponding positive matrices.…

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…
A high-dimensional quantum key distribution (QKD) can improve error rate tolerance and the secret key rate. Many $d$-dimensional QKDs have used two mutually unbiased bases (MUBs), while $(d+1)$ MUBs enable a more robust QKD, especially…
It is conjectured that the question of the existence of projective planes whose order is not a power of prime is intimately linked with the problem whether there exists a set of d+1 mutually unbiased bases in a d-dimensional Hilbert space…
Relative and center of mass cordinates are used to generalize mutually unbiased bases (MUB) and define mutually unbiased bases (MUCB). Maximal entangled states are given as product staes in the collective varibles
We work out the phase-space structure for a system of $n$ qubits. We replace the field of real numbers that label the axes of the continuous phase space by the finite field $\Gal{2^n}$ and investigate the geometrical structures compatible…
In this paper, we expand the theory of depth-unbiased source localization to unbiased parameter estimation and signal reconstruction of an arbitrary number of non-zero parameters to be recovered. The topic touches on the concept of exact…
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…
An analytic proof is given which shows that it is impossible to extend any triple of mutually unbiased (MU) product bases in dimension six by a single MU vector. Furthermore, the 16 states obtained by removing two orthogonal states from any…
We study the relationship between Bell states, finite groups and complete sets of bases. We show how to obtain a set of N+1 bases in which Bell states are invariant. They generalize the X, Y and Z qubit bases and are associated to groups of…

Some mutually quasi-unbiased weighing matrices are constructed from binary codes satisfying certain conditions. Motivated by this, in this note, we study binary codes satisfying the conditions. The weight distributions of binary codes…
A complete set of N+1 mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) exists in Hilbert spaces of dimension N = p^k, where p is a prime number. They mesh naturally with finite affine planes of order N, that exist when N = p^k. The existence of MUBs for…
