In this contribution we relate two different key concepts: mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) and entanglement. We provide a general toolbox for analyzing and comparing entanglement of quantum states for different dimensions and numbers of particles. In particular we focus on bound entanglement, i.e. highly mixed states which cannot be distilled by local operations and classical communications. For a certain class of states—for which the state-space forms a 'magic' simplex—we analyze the set of…

The difficulties of those approaches to the existence problem which employ Hadamard matrices are explored and new general results are derived for the connection between MUBs and Unitary Operator Bases and the role of entanglement is explored.

The problem of finding the $k$-producible bounds of such DIWEDs under different assumptions is considered, not surprisingly, with the weakest assumptions, only for a relatively small number of parties; however, one can still learn interesting features from these solutions that motivate the search on larger systems under the assumption that these features persist.
Free versus Bound Entanglement: Machine learning tackling a NP-hard problem
A large family of magically symmetric states of bipartite qutrits is defined, which shows that this kind of entanglement is not rare, and reveals that there is a strong 2-dimensional (linear) sub-structure in the set of bound entangled states.

We study the separability problem in mixtures of Dicke states i.e., the separability of the so-called Diagonal Symmetric (DS) states. First, we show that separability in the case of DS in \$C^d\otimes
Free versus bound entanglement, a NP-hard problem tackled by machine learning
Entanglement detection in high dimensional systems is a NP-hard problem since it is lacking an efficient way. Given a bipartite quantum state of interest free entanglement can be detected efficiently

We introduce a method to determine whether a given generalised quantum measurement is isolated or it belongs to a family of measurements having the same prescribed symmetry. The technique proposed

This work considers a one-parameter family of four-qubit Smolin states and experimentally produces these states in the polarization of four optical photons produced from parametric down-conversion, showing that they are entangled and undistillable, and thus bound entangled.
