On Obtaining New MUBs by Finding Points on Complete Intersection Varieties over $\mathbb{R}$

Abstract: Mutually Unbiased Bases (MUBs) are closely connected with quantum physics, and the structure has a rich mathematical background. We provide equivalent criteria for extending a set of MUBs for $C^n$ by studying real points of a certain affine algebraic variety. This variety comes from the relations that determine the extendability of a system of MUBs. Finally, we show that some part of this variety gives rise to complete intersection domains. Further, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between MUBs and the maximal commuting classes (bases) of orthogonal normal matrices in $\mathcal M_n({\mathbb{C}})$. It means that for $m$ MUBs in $C^n$, there are $m$ commuting classes, each consisting of $n$ commuting orthogonal normal matrices and the existence of maximal commuting basis for $\mathcal M_n({\mathbb{C}})$ ensures the complete set of MUBs in $\mathcal M_n({\mathbb{C}})$.
