The paper gives a short introduction to mutually unbiased bases and the Welch bounds and demonstrates that the latter is a good technical tool to explore the former. In particular, a criterion for a system of vectors to satisfy the Welch…
We give the maximal distance between a copula and itself when the argument is permuted for arbitrary dimension, generalizing a result for dimension two by Nelsen (2007), Klement and Mesiar (2006). Furthermore, we establish a subset of…
We investigate the number of real entries of an $n\times n$ complex Hadamard matrix (CHM). We analytically derive the numbers when $n=2,3,4,6$. In particular, the number can be any one of $0-22,24,25,26,30$ for $n=6$. We apply our result to…
We report on a search for mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in 6 dimensions. We find only triplets of MUBs, and thus do not come close to the theoretical upper bound 7. However, we point out that the natural habitat for sets of MUBs is the set…
This note is a short elaboration of the conjecture of Saniga et al (J. Opt. B: Quantum Semiclass. 6 (2004) L19-L20) by regarding a set of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in a d-dimensional Hilbert space, d being a power of a prime, as an…
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)…
We study the problem of representing all distances between $n$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, with arbitrarily small distortion, using as few bits as possible. We give asymptotically tight bounds for this problem, for Euclidean metrics, for…
In 2009, Roeglin and Teng showed that the smoothed number of Pareto optimal solutions of linear multi-criteria optimization problems is polynomially bounded in the number $n$ of variables and the maximum density $\phi$ of the semi-random…
Recently [Karimipour and Memarzadeh, Phys. Rev. A 73, 012329 (2006)] studied the problem of finding a family of orthonormal bases in a bipartite space each of dimension $D$ with the following properties: (i) The family continuously…
Constructing four six-dimensional mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) is an open problem in quantum physics and measurement. We investigate the existence of four MUBs including the identity, and a complex Hadamard matrix (CHM) of Schmidt rank…
This short note highlights the most prominent mathematical problems and physical questions associated with the existence of the maximum sets of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in the Hilbert space of a given dimension
We make four contributions to the theory of optimal subspace packings and equi-isoclinic subspaces: (1) a new lower bound for block coherence, (2) an exact count of equi-isoclinic subspaces of even dimension $r$ in $\mathbb{R}^{2r+1}$ with…
The Monotone Upper Bound Problem (Klee, 1965) asks if the number M(d,n) of vertices in a monotone path along edges of a d-dimensional polytope with n facets can be as large as conceivably possible: Is M(d,n) = M_{ubt}(d,n), the maximal…
Using Wederburn's main theorem and a result of Gerstenhaber we prove that, over a field of characteristic zero, the maximal dimension of a proper unital subalgebra in the $n \times n$ matrix algebra is $n^2 - n + 1$ and furthermore this…
The coordinate-wise median is a classic and most well-studied strategy-proof mechanism in social choice and facility location scenarios. Surprisingly, there is no systematic study of its approximation ratio in $d$-dimensional spaces. The…
Quantum measurements based on mutually unbiased bases (MUB) play crucial roles in foundational studies and quantum information processing. It is known that there exist inequivalent MUB, but little is known about their operational…
We consider three special and significant cases of the following problem. Let D be a (possibly unbounded) set of finite Lebesgue measure in R^d. Find conditions on D for which the standard exponential basis on the unit cube of R^d is a…
Quantum systems with variables in ${\mathbb Z}(d)$ are considered, and three different structures are studied. The first is weak mutually unbiased bases, for which the absolute value of the overlap of any two vectors in two different bases…
We consider the problem of choosing Euclidean points to maximize the sum of their weighted pairwise distances, when each point is constrained to a ball centered at the origin. We derive a dual minimization problem and show strong duality…
It is known that any $n$-point set in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, for $d = O(1)$, admits: 1) a $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner with maximum degree $\tilde{O}(\epsilon^{-d+1})$ and with lightness $\tilde{O}(\epsilon^{-d})$; 2)…
