Abstract

Spin anticoherent states acquired recently a lot of attention as the most "quantum" states. Some coherent and anticoherent spin states are known as optimal quantum rotosensors. In this work, we introduce a measure of quantumness for orthonormal bases of spin states, determined by the average anticoherence of individual vectors and the Wehrl entropy. In this way, we identify the most coherent and most quantum states, which lead to orthogonal measurements of extreme quantumness. Their symmetries can be revealed using the Majorana stellar representation, which provides an intuitive geometrical representation of a pure state by points on a sphere. Results obtained lead to maximally (minimally) entangled bases in the $2j+1$ dimensional symmetric subspace of the $2^{2j}$ dimensional space of states of multipartite systems composed of $2j$ qubits. Some bases found are iso-coherent as they consist of all states of the same degree of spin-coherence.

Extremal states, coherent and anticoherent, have practical applications in quantum metrology as optimal rotosensors. This work provides a natural extension of previous studies concerning the search for such states proposing optimal orthogonal measurements of Lüders and von Neumann of the extreme spin coherence. We introduce the measure $mathcal{B}_t$ as the tool to characterize the quantumness of a measurement given by a basis in $mathcal{H}_N$. The search for the most quantum bases for $N=3,4,5$ and $7$ is performed. Numerical results suggest, that the obtained solutions are unique. A set of candidates for the "classical" bases consisting of the most spin-coherent states is indicated for $N=3,4,5,6$. Some of the most quantum bases, analyzed in the stellar representation of Majorana, reveal symmetries of Platonic solids. Most classical bases display symmetric structures too. We also considered other measures of the quantumness of vectors forming a given basis. Optimization of the mean Wehrl entropy of $N$ orthogonal vectors leads to the same bases distinguished by extremal values of the quantities $mathcal{B}_t$, with a single exception of the quantum basis for $N=6$.
