Abstract

A way of constructing special entangled basis with fixed Schmidt number 2 (SEB2) in \({\mathbb {C}}^3 \otimes {\mathbb {C}}^{4k}(k\in z^+,3\not \mid k)\) is proposed, and the conditions mutually unbiased SEB2s (MUSEB2s) satisfy are discussed. In addition, a very easy way of constructing MUSEB2s in \({\mathbb {C}}^3 \otimes {\mathbb {C}}^{4k}(k=2^l)\) is presented. We first establish the concrete construction of SEB2 and MUSEB2s in \({\mathbb {C}}^3 \otimes {\mathbb {C}}^{4}\) and \({\mathbb {C}}^3 \otimes {\mathbb {C}}^{8}\), respectively, and then generalize them into \({\mathbb {C}}^3 \otimes {\mathbb {C}}^{4k}(k\in z^+,3\not \mid k)\) and display the condition that MUSEB2s satisfy; we also give general form of two MUSEB2s as examples in \({\mathbb {C}}^3 \otimes {\mathbb {C}}^{4k}(k=2^l)\).
