• Abstract summary: What properties of a multi-mode Gaussian state are determined by the signal from one detector that measures total number photons up to some bound? We find that if the Gaussian state occupies $S$ modes and the probabilities of $n$ photons for all $nleq 8S$ are known, then we can determine the spectrum of the Gaussian covariance matrix. Nothing more can be learned, even if all photon-number probabilities are known.

• Abstract: Gaussian states are ubiquitous in quantum optics and information processing, and it is essential to have effective tools for their characterization. One such tool is a photon-number-resolving detector, and the simplest configuration involves counting the total number of photons in the state to be characterized. This motivates the following question: What properties of a multi-mode Gaussian state are determined by the signal from one detector that measures total number photons up to some bound? We find that if the Gaussian state occupies $S$ modes and the probabilities of $n$ photons for all $n\leq 8S$ are known, then we can determine the spectrum of the Gaussian covariance matrix and the magnitude of the displacements in each eigenspace of the covariance matrix. Nothing more can be learned, even if all photon-number probabilities are known. When the state is pure, the covariance matrix spectrum determines the squeezing parameters of the state.

  We propose a highly efficient algorithm that converts fermionic Gaussian states to matrix product states. It can be formulated for finite-size systems without translation invariance, but becomes particularly appealing when applied to infinite systems. The potential of our method is demonstrated by numerical calculations in two chiral spin liquids.

  An entanglement measure based on the Fubini-Study metric has been recently introduced by Cocchiarella and co-workers. We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.
