Equientangled Bases in Arbitrary Dimensions and Quadratic Gauss Sums

Recently [Karimipour and Memarzadeh, PhysRevA 73, 012329 (2006)] posed the problem of finding a continuous family of orthonormal bases in a bipartite space of two identical systems with the following properties: i) in each basis, all states have to be equally entangled, and ii) the family continuously interpolate between the product basis and the maximally entangled basis. The authors provided a necessary condition and simple examples for relatively small dimensions, but questioned the existence of a general solution for arbitrary dimensions. Employing the properties of quadratic Gauss sums, we prove that such a family of bases exists for all dimensions and provide an explicit simple parametrization. We illustrate the behaviour of our solution with particular examples.
