| contents | In a recent paper by S. Pandey, V. Paulsen, J. Prakash, and M. Rahaman, the authors studied the entanglement breaking quantum channels $Φ_t:\mathbb{C}^{d\times d} \to \mathbb{C}^{d \times d}$ for $t \in [-\frac{1}{d^2-1}, \frac{1}{d+1}]$ defined by $Φ_t(X) = tX+ (1-t)\text{Tr}(X) \frac{1}{d}I$. They proved that Zauner's conjecture is equivalent to the statement that entanglement breaking rank of $Φ_{\frac{1}{d+1}}$ is $d^2$. The authors made the extended conjecture that $\text{ebr}(Φ_t)=d^2$ for every $t \in [0, \frac{1}{d+1}]$ and proved it in dimensions 2 and 3.
In this paper we prove that for any $t \in [-\frac{1}{d^2-1}, \frac{1}{d+1}] \setminus\{0\}$ the equality $\text{ebr}(Φ_t)=d^2$ is equivalent to the existence of a pair of informationally complete unit norm tight frames $\{|x_i\rangle\}_{i=1}^{d^2}, \{|y_i\rangle\}_{i=1}^{d^2}$ in $\mathbb{C}^d $ which are mutually unbiased in a certain sense. That is, for any $i\neq j$ it holds that $|\langle x_i|y_j\rangle|^2 = \frac{1-t}{d}$ and $|\langle x_i|y_i\rangle|^2 = \frac{t(d^2-1)+1}{d}$ (also it follows that $|\langle x_i|x_j\rangle\langle y_i|y_j\rangle|=|t|$).
Though, our numerical searches for solutions were not successful in dimensions 4 and 5 for values of $t$ other than $0$ or $\frac{1}{d+1}$. |
