Unitary error bases: Constructions, equivalence, and applications Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Unitary error bases are fundamental primitives in quantum computing, which are instrumental for quantum error-correcting codes and the design of teleportation and super-dense coding schemes. There are two prominent constructions of such bases: an algebraic construction using projective representations of finite groups and a combinatorial construction using Latin squares and Hadamard matrices. An open problem posed by Schlingemann and Werner relates these two constructions, and asks whether each algebraic construction is equivalent to a combinatorial construction. We answer this question by giving an explicit counterexample in dimension 165 which has been constructed with the help of a computer algebra system. Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
