Equations for the overlaps of a SIC
Len Bos and Shayne Waldron
Abstract:
We give a holomorphic quartic polynomial
in the overlap variables whose zeros on the torus are precisely the
Weyl-Heisenberg SICs (symmetric informationally complete positive
operator valued measures).
By way of comparison, all the other known systems of equations
that determine a Weyl-Heisenberg SIC involve variables and their complex
conjugates.
We also give a related interesting result about the powers of the projective
Fourier transform of the group $G=\Zd\times\Zd$.
