The goal of these notes is to show that the classification problem of algebraically unbiased system of projectors has an interpretation in symplectic geometry. This leads us to a description of the moduli space of algebraically unbiased bases as critical points of a potential functions, which is a Laurent polynomial in suitable coordinates. The Newton polytope of the Laurent polynomial is the classical Birkhoff polytope, the set of double stochastic matrices. Mirror symmetry interprets the polynomial as a Landau-Ginzburg potential for corresponding Fano variety and relates the symplectic geometry of the variety with systems of unbiased projectors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
