Extremal quantum states & combinatorial designs



A quantum combinatorial design is composed of quantum states, arranged with a certain symmetry and balance. Such a constellation> of states determines distinguished quantum measurements and can be applied for quantum information processing. Negative solution to the famous problem of $36$ officers of Euler implies that there are no two orthogonal Latin squares of order six. We show that the problem has a solution, provided the officers are entangled, and construct orthogonal quantum Latin squares of this size. The solution can be visualized on a chessboard of size six, which shows that $36$ officers are split in nine groups, each containing of four entangled states. It allows us to construct a pure nonadditive quhex quantum error detection code and four-party states with extremal entanglement properties.
