Conjectured decompositions of a unitary matrix
Published 1 Dec 2021 in quant-ph | (2112.00226v1)
Abstract: For any unitary matrix there exists a ZXZ decomposition, according to a theorem by Idel and Wolf. For any even-dimensional unitary matrix there exists a block-ZXZ decomposition, according to a theorem by F\"uhr and Rzeszotnik. We conjecture that these two decompositions are merely special cases of a set of decompositions, one for every divisor of the matrix dimension. For lack of a proof, we provide an iterative Sinkhorn algorithm to find an approximate numerical decomposition.
