We study a particular procedure which has been shown to relate the two problems and generates complete sets of MUBs in power-of-prime dimensions and three MUBs in dimension six. For these cases, every square from an augmented set of MOLS has a corresponding MUB. We show that this no longer holds for certain composite dimensions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-10-08T08:09:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "mutually unbiased bases", "connection", "mutually orthogonal latin squares", "generates complete sets", "power-of-prime dimensions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physica Scripta Volume T", "year": 2010, "month": "Sep", "volume": 140, "pages": "014031" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010PhST..140a4031P" } } }
