Abstract
The mean king’s problem with maximal mutually unbiased bases (MUB’s) in general dimension is investigated. It is shown that a solution of the problem exists if and only if the maximal number of orthogonal Latin squares exists. This implies that there is no solution in or dimensions even if the maximal number of MUB’s exists in these dimensions.
