Abstract

I investigate dense coding with a general mixed state on the Hilbert space shared between a sender and receiver. The following result is proved. When the sender prepares the signal states by mutually orthogonal unitary transformations with equal {\it a priori} probabilities, the capacity of dense coding is maximized. It is also proved that the optimal capacity of dense coding satisfies , where is the relative entropy of entanglement of the shared entangled state.
