Gaussian States: Evaluation of the Covariance Matrix from the Implementation with Primitive Component
Gianfranco Cariolaro, Roberto Corvaja, Filippo M. Miatto · Symmetry · 2022
Quantum Gaussian states play a fundamental role in quantum communications and in quantum information. This paper deals with the implementation of multimode, and particularly of two-mode Gaussian unitaries and Gaussian states with primitive components (phase shifters, single-mode real squeezers, displacements, and beam splitters). The architecture thus obtained allows one to obtain an insight into the physical meaning of each variable involved. Moreover, following the implementation architecture, it is possible to formulate an easy algebra (radical free) for the main operations and transformations of Gaussian states.
