An angular momentum approach to quadratic Fourier transform, Hadamard matrices, Gauss sums, mutually unbiased bases, the unitary group and the Pauli group

Abstract: The construction of unitary operator bases in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space is reviewed through a nonstandard approach combinining angular momentum theory and representation theory of SU(2). A single formula for the bases is obtained from a polar decomposition of SU(2) and analysed in terms of cyclic groups, quadratic Fourier transforms, Hadamard matrices and generalized Gauss sums. Weyl pairs, generalized Pauli operators and their application to the unitary group and the Pauli group naturally arise in th… Show more

“…Construction of MUBs associated with a finite-dimensional Hilbert space was considered, using different methods such as, for instance, ones based on discrete Fourier analysis over Galois fields and Galois rings, generalized Pauli matrices, angular momentum theory, etc. (for a recent review and other methods of MUBs construction, see, for instance, [26,27]). The states (15) are unbiased to the computational basis…”
