We present a new class of solutions to the parameter-dependent Yang–Baxter equation across all dimensions, which includes a significant subclass of unitary and entangling solutions. In any dimension d ≥ 2 , we construct a well-structured matrix R ( u ) that exhibits intriguing and useful symmetries. A key feature of R ( u ) is its composition from four monomial-based layers: R ( u ) = R a ( u ) + R b ( u ) + R x ( u ) + R y ( u ) , where a ( u ) , b ( u ) , x ( u ) and y ( u ) are four sets of monomial complex functions of the form, a u n a , b u n b , x u n x and y u n y , respectively. This well-designed structure plays a crucial role in demonstrating that R ( u ) is indeed a solution to the Yang–Baxter equation and in establishing the conditions for its unitarity and entangling properties. Additionally, it allows us to identify interesting non-trivial subfamilies with these properties. As is widely recognized, unitary and entangling solutions to the Yang–Baxter equation serve as universal quantum logic gates for qudit quantum computing . Moreover, the search for new solutions to the Yang–Baxter equation in higher dimensions is a common endeavor in both mathematics and physics .
We will present solutions to the constant Yang-Baxter equation, in any dimension
n. More precisely, for any
n, we will create an infinite family of
n2 by
n2 matrices which are solutions to the constant Yang-Baxter equation. The total number of non-vanishing entries of such a matrix is
4n2 for
n even, and
4(n−1)(n)+1 for
n odd. We will also present the unitary conditions for those matrices. Moreover, we discuss the entangling property of those matrices.
