Complete sets of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) have interesting applications in quantum information science. The quantum cryptographic six-state protocol, for example, relies on a special kind of complete set of MUBs. Contrary to general complete sets of MUBs [1,2] it has the additional property of being cyclic, i.e. all bases involved are generated from one particular basis by multiple applications of a single unitary transformation. In this contribution details of a recently developed method [3] are presented which allows to construct complete sets of cyclic mutually unbiased bases in even prime power dimensions. The relevance of these complete sets of cyclic MUBs for security bounds of quantum cryptographic protocols are discussed. This work was supported by CASED.
