If a density operator σ on an m≥2 dimensional Hilbert space has overlap t=⟨ψ∣σ∣ψ⟩ with a fixed pure state, then S(σ)≤h(t)+(1−t)log2​(m−1). Dephase in a basis containing ∣ψ⟩ and apply the entropy bound with one prescribed probability. The abstract state bound is attained by σ=t∣ψ⟩⟨ψ∣+(1−t)(I−∣ψ⟩⟨ψ∣)/(m−1).
