About the definition of fidelity in a mixed state. in terms of density matrix?


Uh, today I read some materials about quantum fidelity. In a pure state, which can be expressed by a wave function vector |f>. the fidelity can be defined directly and clearly by their inner product. But when it turns to the case of mixed state expressed by a density matrix. I cannot understand the definition directly.

Please give me some direct understandings about this definition like the case of pure state!
