Usually it is assumed that quantum dense coding is due to quantum entanglement between two parties. We show that this phenomenon has its origin in {\em correlations} between two parties rather than simply in entanglement. In order to…

We present a rigorous proof of an interesting boundary effect of deterministic dense coding first observed by Mozes et al. [Phys. Rev. A 71, 012311 (2005)]. Namely, it is shown that $d^2-1$ cannot be the maximal alphabet size of any…

Entangled states with a positive partial transpose (so-called PPT states) are central to many interesting problems in quantum theory. On one hand, they are considered to be weakly entangled, since no pure state entanglement can be distilled…
