Abstract: The quantum state of a $d$-dimensional system can be represented by the $d^2$ probabilities corresponding to a SIC-POVM, and then this distribution of probability can be represented by a vector of $R^{d^2-1}$ in a simplex, we will call this set of vectors $mathcalQ$. Other way of represent a $d$-dimensional system is by the corresponding Bloch vector also in $R^{d^2-1}$, we will call this set of vectors $mathcalB$. In this paper it is proved that with the adequate scaling $mathcalB=mathcalQ$. Also we indicate some features of the shape of $mathcalQ$.
