We report on a new computer study of the existence of d2 equiangular lines in d complex dimensions. Such maximal complex projective codes are conjectured to exist in all finite dimensions and are the underlying mathematical objects defining symmetric informationally complete measurements in quantum theory. We provide numerical solutions in all dimensions d≤67 and, moreover, a putatively complete list of Weyl–Heisenberg covariant solutions for d≤50. A symmetry analysis of this list leads to new…

We consider the question of the existence of d2 equiangular lines in d-dimensional complex space Cd. In physics, such a set of equiangular lines is called a symmetric, informationally complete…

The Lie Algebraic Significance of Symmetric Informationally Complete Measurements
Examples of symmetric informationally complete positive operator-valued measures (SIC-POVMs) have been constructed in every dimension ⩽67. However, it remains an open question whether they exist in…

This paper uses character sums over finite fields to present two constructions of ASIC-POVMs and shows that there are some classes of infinite families of ASIC -POVs by using some special functions over infinite fields.
SIC-POVMS AND THE STARK CONJECTURES
The existence of a set of d pairwise equiangular complex lines (a SIC-POVM) in ddimensional Hilbert space is currently known only for a finite set of dimensions d. We prove that, if there exists a…
Geometric and Information-Theoretic Properties of the Hoggar Lines
TLDR
Investigating the shape of this representation of state space leads to an intriguing link between the questions of real and of complex equiangular lines and relations between quantum information theory and mathematical topics like octonionic integers and the 28 bitangents to a quartic curve.

A complete set of mutually unbiased bases for a Hilbert space of dimension N is analogous in some respects to a certain finite geometric structure, namely, an affine plane. Another kind of quantum…
