Description
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.
