- Abstract summary: We show that if the first and second moments are known up to an error $varepsilon$, the trace distance error on the state also scales as $varepsilon$.
We prove this by establishing tight bounds on the trace distance between two Gaussian states in terms of the norm distance of their first and second moments.

- Abstract: Gaussian states of bosonic quantum systems enjoy numerous technological applications and are ubiquitous in nature. Their significance lies in their simplicity, which in turn rests on the fact that they are uniquely determined by two experimentally accessible quantities, their first and second moments. But what if these moments are only known approximately, as is inevitable in any realistic experiment? What is the resulting error on the Gaussian state itself, as measured by the most operationally meaningful metric for distinguishing quantum states, namely, the trace distance? In this work, we fully resolve this question by demonstrating that if the first and second moments are known up to an error $\varepsilon$, the trace distance error on the state also scales as $\varepsilon$, and this functional dependence is optimal. To prove this, we establish tight bounds on the trace distance between two Gaussian states in terms of the norm distance of their first and second moments. As an application, we improve existing bounds on the sample complexity of tomography of Gaussian states.

- On estimates of trace-norm distance between quantum Gaussian states [0.0]
Estimates for the trace-norm distance between two quantum Gaussian states in terms of the mean vectors and covariance matrices were derived.
In the present paper we obtain different estimates; our proof is based on a fidelity-like quantity which we call states overlap.
They do not depend on number of modes and hence can be extended to the case of bosonic field with infinite number of modes.
