An operational link between MUBs and SICs
We exhibit an operational connection between mutually unbiased bases and
symmetric infomationally complete positive operator-valued measures. Assuming
that the latter exists, we show that there is a strong link between these two
structures in all prime power dimensions. We also demonstrate that a similar
link cannot exists in dimension 6.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figure
