Abstract

Relative entropy is an essential tool in quantum information theory. There are so many problems which are related to relative entropy. In this article, the optimal values which are defined by maxUU(\cXd)S(UρUσ)\displaystyle\max_{U\in{U(\cX_{d})}} S(U\rho{U^{\ast}}\parallel\sigma) and minUU(\cXd)S(UρUσ)\displaystyle\min_{U\in{U(\cX_{d})}} S(U\rho{U^{\ast}}\parallel\sigma) for two positive definite operators ρ,σPd(\cX)\rho,\sigma\in{\textmd{Pd}(\cX)} are obtained. And the set of S(UρUσ)S(U\rho{U^{\ast}}\parallel\sigma) for every unitary operator UU is full of the interval [minUU(\cXd)S(UρUσ),maxUU(\cXd)S(UρUσ)][\displaystyle\min_{U\in{U(\cX_{d})}} S(U\rho{U^{\ast}}\parallel\sigma),\displaystyle\max_{U\in{U(\cX_{d})}} S(U\rho{U^{\ast}}\parallel\sigma)]
