Introduction
Gaussian Systems
I will focus on two mode bipartite Gaussian Systems.
Why Gaussian Systems
since the Quantum Electrodynamics vacuum state is a Gaussian
state and the experimental apparatuses implemented with better
control are described by Hamiltonian bilinear in eld mode which
preserve the Gaussian character, most of the systems produced
in laboratory are Gaussian
a generic two mode Gaussian bipartite State can be realized by
a squeezer, a thermal state and a displacement, which are
operations that are all currently realized by experimental
apparatuses
Gaussian States are exhaustively characterized with respect to
entanglement
