A complex Hadamard matrix is a square matrix H with complex entries of absolute value 1 satisfying $HH^*= nI$, where $*$ stands for the Hermitian transpose and I is the identity matrix of order $n$. In this paper, we first determine the…
We systematically explore the new method of construction (known as the propus construction) of symmetric Hadamard matrices for small orders, $4v$. In particular we give the first examples of symmetric Hadamard matrices of order $156=4\cdot…
We describe properties of Hadamard products of algebraic varieties. We show any Hadamard power of a line is a linear space, and we construct star configurations from products of collinear points. Tropical geometry is used to find the degree…
One of the main goals of design theory is to classify, characterize and count various combinatorial objects with some prescribed properties. In most cases, however, one quickly encounters a combinatorial explosion and even if the complete…
The complete classification of $6\times 6$ complex Hadamard matrices (CHMs) is a long-standing open problem. In this paper we investigate a series of CHMs, such as the CHMs containing a $2\times 3$ submatrix with rank one, the CHMs…
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…
In previous work [Adv. Math. 298, pp. 325-368, 2016], the structure of the simultaneous kernels of Hadamard powers of any positive semidefinite matrix were described. Key ingredients in the proof included a novel stratification of the cone…
A new construction of complex Hadamard matrices of composite order d=pq, with primes p,q, is presented which is based on pairs of mutually unbiased bases containing only product states. For product dimensions d < 100, we illustrate the…
Two skew Hadamard matrices are considered {\sf SH}-equivalent if they are similar by a signed permutation matrix. This paper determines the number of {\sf SH}-inequivalent skew Hadamard matrices of order $36$ for some types. We also study…
We construct orthogonal arrays OA$_{\lambda} (k,n)$ (of strength two) having a row that is repeated $m$ times, where $m$ is as large as possible. In particular, we consider OAs where the ratio $m / \lambda$ is as large as possible; these…
A Hadamard matrix is a scaled orthogonal matrix with $\pm 1$ entries. Such matrices exist in certain dimensions: the Hadamard conjecture is that such a matrix always exists when $n$ is a multiple of 4. A conjecture attributed to Ryser is…
A classification of Hadamard matrices of order $2p+2$ with an automorphism of order $p$ is given for $p=29$ and $31$. The ternary self-dual codes spanned by the newly found Hadamard matrices of order $60$ with an automorphism of order $29$…
We construct new symmetric Hadamard matrices of orders $92,116$, and $172$. While the existence of those of order $92$ was known since 1978, the orders $116$ and $172$ are new. Our construction is based on a recent new combinatorial array…
We define several operations that switch substructures of Hadamard matrices thereby producing new, generally inequivalent, Hadamard matrices. These operations have application to the enumeration and classification of Hadamard matrices. To…
The ranks and kernels of generalized Hadamard matrices are studied. It is proven that any generalized Hadamard matrix $H(q,\lambda)$ over $F_q$, $q>3$, or $q=3$ and $\gcd(3,\lambda)\not =1$, generates a self-orthogonal code. This result…
All complex Hadamard matrices in dimensions two to five are known. We use this fact to derive all inequivalent sets of mutually unbiased (MU) bases in low dimensions. We find a three-parameter family of triples of MU bases in dimension four…
We obtain the most general ensemble of qubits, for which it is possible to design a universal Hadamard gate. These states when geometrically represented on the Bloch sphere, give a new trajectory. We further consider some Hadamard `type' of…
We introduce a new class of complex Hadamard matrices which have not been studied previously. We use these matrices to construct a new infinite family of parity proofs of the Kochen-Specker theorem. We show that the recently discovered…
There are several well-known methods that one can use to construct Hadamard matrices from base sequences BS(m,n). In view of the recent classification of base sequences BS(n+1,n) for n <= 30, it may be of interest to show on an example how…
In this paper, we find regular or biregular Hadamard matrices with maximum excess by negating some rows and columns of known Hadamard matrices obtained from quadratic residues of finite fields. In particular, we show that if either…
