It was discussed earlier [quant-ph/0104126] a construction with (2n-1)n projectors for the dimension n. For n=2 it is a set with six projectors associated with eigenvectors of three Pauli matrices, but for n>2 the construction produces not such a `regular' set. In this paper are revisited some results of previous work [quant-ph/0104126] and discussed another, more symmetric construction with the Weyl matrix pair (as the generalization of Pauli matrices). In the particular case of prime n it is the mutually unbiased set with (n+1)n projectors. In appendix is shown an example of application of complete sets for discussions about separability and random robustness.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-02-10T12:40:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "density matrix", "projectors", "symmetric sets", "reconstruction", "pauli matrices" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003quant.ph..2064V" } } }
