Mar 30, 2016 at 11:50 comment added ACuriousMind It's not clear what you're asking. The inequality is saturated if and only if $\rho$ is pure, what more of a "physical meaning" do you seek?
Mar 30, 2016 at 11:34 comment added Norbert Schuch One possible interpretation is the overlap of $\rho\otimes \rho$ with the symmetric subspace. Would this be a satisfactory answer?? (After all, $\rho$ has to be pure in order for $\rho\otimes \rho$ to be fully contained in the symmetric subspace.)
Mar 30, 2016 at 11:34 comment added Norbert Schuch @Adam Note that this quantity can only be measured given at least two copies of $\rho$.
Mar 30, 2016 at 11:34 comment added Norbert Schuch What do you mean by "physical meaning"? -- Note that one could well argue that $\mathrm{tr}(\rho)$ has no physical meaning, since states must always be normalized.
