Eigenvalue degeneracy relations for a fully connected isotropic spin network

ORAL

Abstract

We present and indicate the proofs of identities for the eigenvalue degeneracy of a fully connected spin network with isotropic spin coupling. Such a network has application to quantum information processing, especially for solid-state implementations, and in fact the qubit case with anisotropic coupling has been recently realized. One set of proofs and other relations for the case of qubits is given in the context of hypergeometric summation. We then generalize to arbitrary spin, using combinatorial arguments.
