Finding Gaussian Structure in Bosonic States
We study agnostic tomography of pure bosonic Gaussian states: given copies of an arbitrary $n$-mode bosonic state $ρ$, the goal is to output a pure Gaussian state whose infidelity with $ρ$ is at most $\mathrm{opt} + ε$, where $\mathrm{opt}$ is the minimum infidelity achievable by any pure Gaussian state. We give effici …
