摘要
We study the class of discrete Wigner functions proposed by Gibbons et al. [Phys. Rev. A 70, 062101 (2004)] to describe quantum states using a discrete phase space based on finite fields. We find the extrema of such functions for small Hilbert-space dimensions and present a quantum-information application: a construction of quantum random-access codes. These are constructed using the complete set of phase-space point operators to find encoding states and to obtain the codes' average success rates for Hilbert-space dimensions 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8.
