Mutually unbiased bases for quantum degrees of freedom are central to all theoretical investigations and practical exploitations of complementary properties. Much is known about mutually unbiased bases, but there are also a fair number of important questions that have not been answered in full as yet. In particular, one can find maximal sets of N + 1 mutually unbiased bases in Hilbert spaces of prime-power dimension N = pM, with p prime and M a positive integer, and there is a continuum of…

Entanglement in mutually unbiased bases
• Physics
• 2011
One of the essential features of quantum mechanics is that most pairs of observables cannot be measured simultaneously. This phenomenon manifests itself most strongly when observables are related to
Quantifying Measurement Incompatibility of Mutually Unbiased Bases.
• Computer Science
Physical review letters
• 2019
This work quantifies precisely the degree of incompatibility of mutually unbiased bases (MUB) using the notion of noise robustness using the standard construction for d being a prime power, and provides upper and lower bounds on this quantity for sets of k MUB in dimension d.
Weak mutually unbiased bases
• Mathematics
• 2012
Quantum systems with variables in are considered. The properties of lines in the phase space of these systems are studied. Weak mutually unbiased bases in these systems are defined as bases for which
Mutually Unbiased Quantum Bases : Existence , Entanglement , Information
• Computer Science
• 2015
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.
Graph-state formalism for mutually unbiased bases
• Computer Science
• 2013
A novel method based on the graph-state formalism to construct complete sets of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) for n-level systems, and it is shown that a single $n$-dimensional vector can be used to generate a complete set of MUBs.

Orthogonal Pairs and Mutually Unbiased Bases
• Mathematics

The goal of our article is a study of related mathematical and physical objects: orthogonal pairs in sl(n) and mutually unbiased bases in ℂn. An orthogonal pair in a simple Lie algebra is a pair of
Entanglement patterns in mutually unbiased basis sets
A few simply stated rules govern the entanglement patterns that can occur in mutually unbiased basis sets (MUBs) and constrain the combinations of such patterns that can coexist in full complements
Tomographically complete sets of orthonormal bases in finite systems
• Mathematics
• 2011
Quantum systems where the position and momentum are in the ring (d is an odd integer) are considered. A tomographically complete set of bases, i.e. a set of bases such that probabilities from
Constructing Extremal Compatible Quantum Observables by Means of Two Mutually Unbiased Bases
• Mathematics
Foundations of Physics
• 2019
We describe a particular class of pairs of quantum observables which are extremal in the convex set of all pairs of compatible quantum observables. The pairs in this class are constructed as

About mutually unbiased bases in even and odd prime power dimensions
Mutually unbiased bases generalize the X, Y and Z qubit bases. They possess numerous applications in quantum information science. It is well known that in prime power dimensions N = pm (with p prime
There is no generalization of known formulas for mutually unbiased bases
In a quantum system having a finite number N of orthogonal states, two orthonormal bases {ai} and {bj} are called mutually unbiased if all inner products ⟨ai∣bj⟩ have the same modulus 1∕N. This

We study sets of pure states in a Hilbert space of dimension $d$ which are mutually unbiased (MU), that is, the moduli of their scalar products are equal to zero, one, or $1∕\sqrt{d}$. Each of these

We present a construction method for complete sets of cyclic mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in Hilbert spaces of even prime-power dimensions. In comparison to the usual complete sets of MUBs,
The limitations of nice mutually unbiased bases

It is shown that the number of resulting mutually unbiased bases can be at most one plus the smallest prime power contained in the dimension, and therefore that this construction cannot improve upon previous approaches.

Mutually unbiased bases encapsulate the concept of complementarity - the impossibility of simultaneous knowledge of certain observables - in the formalism of quantum theory. Although this concept is
A gap for the maximum number of mutually unbiased bases
A collection of (pairwise) mutually unbiased bases (in short: MUB) in d > 1 dimensions may consist of at most d + 1 bases. Such “complete” collections are known to exists in C when d is a power of a
