Tight bounds for antidistinguishability and circulant sets of pure quantum states by Nathaniel Johnston, Vincent Russo, Jamie Sikora

“…We show that antidistinguishability of a set of $n$ pure states is equivalent to a property of its Gram matrix called $(n-1)$-incoherence, thus establishing a connection with quantum resource theories that lets us apply a wide variety of new tools to antidistinguishability. As a particular application of our result, we present an explicit formula (not involving any semidefinite programming) that determines whether or not a set with a circulant Gram matrix is antidistinguishable. …”
