摘要

We extend the notion of anticoherent spin states to anticoherent subspaces. An anticoherent subspace of order t is a subspace whose unit vectors are all anticoherent states of order at least t. We use Klein's description of algebras of polynomials which are invariant under finite subgroups of SU(2) on C-2 to provide constructions of anticoherent subspaces. We discuss applications of this idea to the entanglement of n qubit symmetric states. Furthermore, we show a connection between the existence of these subspaces and the properties of the higher-rank numerical range for certain products of spin observables. We also note that these constructions give us subspaces of spin states all of whose unit vectors have Majorana representations which are spherical designs of order at least t.
