Abstract

The unextendible product bases (UPBs) are interesting members from the family of orthogonal product states. In this paper, we investigate the construction of 3-qubit UPB with strong nonlocality of different sizes. First, a UPB set in C3C3C3{{C}^{3}}\otimes {{C}^{3}}\otimes {{C}^{3}} of size 12 is presented based on the Shifts UPB, the structure of which is described by mapping the system to a 3×3×33\times 3\times 3 Rubik's Cube. After observing the orthogonal graph of each qubit, we provide a general method of constructing UPB in CdCdCd{{C}^{d}}\otimes {{C}^{d}}\otimes {{C}^{d}} of size (d1)3+3(d2)+1{{\left( d-1 \right)}^{3}}+3\left( d-2 \right)+1. Second, for the more general case where the dimensions of qubits are different, we extend the tile structure to 3-qubit system and propose a Tri-tile structure for 3-qubit UPB. Then, by means of this structure, a C4C4C5{{C}^{4}}\otimes {{C}^{4}}\otimes {{C}^{5}} system of size 30 is obtained based on a C3C3C4{{C}^{3}}\otimes {{C}^{3}}\otimes {{C}^{4}} system. Similarly, we generalize this approach to Cd1Cd2Cd3{{C}^{{{d}_{1}}}}\otimes {{C}^{{{d}_{2}}}}\otimes {{C}^{{{d}_{3}}}} system which has a similar composition to CdCdCd{{C}^{d}}\otimes {{C}^{d}}\otimes {{C}^{d}}. Our research provides a positive answer to the open questions raised in [Halder, et al., PRL, 122, 040403 (2019)], indicating that there do exist multi-qubit UPBs that can exhibit strong quantum nonlocality without entanglement.
