This would prove the optimality and generality of our scheme in an operational way, which is indeed more useful for practical applications. 11.4. Generic versus typical entanglement: are off-block-diagonal correlations relevant? The structural properties of pure N-mode Gaussian states under local operations have been addressed in Sec. 2.4.2 and completely characterized in Appendix A [GA18]. Here [GA14], block-diagonal states (i.e. with no correlations between position and momentum operators) have been in particular proven to possess generic entanglement in the sense of Sec. 11.2.1, and their standard form covariances (determining any form of entanglement in such states) have been physically understood in terms of two-body correlations. It is thus quite natural to question if the N(N − 3)/2 additional parameters encoded in ˆq-ˆp correlations for non-blockdiagonal pure states, have a definite impact or not on the bipartite and multipartite entanglement. At present, usual CV protocols are devised, even in multimode settings (see Chapter 12), to make use of states without any ˆq-ˆp correlations. In such cases, the economical (relying on N(N − 1)/2 parameters) “block-diagonal state engineering” scheme detailed in Fig. 11.1 is clearly the optimal general strategy for the production of entangled resources. However, theoretical considerations strongly suggest that states with σqp = 0 [adopting the notation of Eq. (A.4)] might have remarkable potential for improved quantum-informational applications. In fact, considering as just mentioned the thermodynamical entanglement framework of Gaussian states [209], one can define natural averages either on the whole set of pure Gaussian states, or restricting to states with σqp = 0. Well, numerics unambiguously show [GA18] that the (thermodynamically-averaged) “generic” entanglement (under any bipartition) of Gaussian states without ˆq-ˆp correlations (like the ones considered in Sec. 11.2.1) is systematically lower than the “typical” entanglement of completely general pure Gaussian states, with this behavior getting more and more manifest as the total number of modes N increases (clearly, according to Sec. 2.4.2, this discrepancy only arises for N > 3). In a way, the full entanglement potential of Gaussian states is diminished by the restriction to block-diagonal states. On the other hand, the comparison between the average entanglement generated in randomizing processes based on the engineering scheme of Fig. 11.2, and the block-diagonal one of Fig. 11.1, is under current investigation as well. If the general scheme of Fig. 11.2, based on beam-splitters and seraphiques, turned out to be out-performing the simpler ones (like the one of Fig. 11.1, based on beamsplitters only) in terms of entanglement generation — as expected in view of the argument above — this would provide us with a formidable motivation to explore novel CV protocols capable of adequately exploiting ˆq-ˆp correlated resources.

The structural properties of pure N-mode Gaussian states under local operations<br />

[GA18]. Here [GA14], block-diagonal states (i.e. with no correlations between position<br />

any form of entanglement in such states) have been physically understood<br />
in terms of two-body correlations. It is thus quite natural to question if<br />
the N(N − 3)/2 additional parameters encoded in ˆq-ˆp correlations for non-blockdiagonal<br />
pure states, have a definite impact or not on the bipartite and multipartite<br />
entanglement.<br />
At present, usual CV protocols are devised, even in multimode settings (see<br />
Chapter 12), to make use of states without any ˆq-ˆp correlations. In such cases, the<br />
economical (relying on N(N − 1)/2 parameters) “block-diagonal state engineering”<br />
scheme detailed in Fig. 11.1 is clearly the optimal general strategy for the production<br />
of entangled resources. However, theoretical considerations strongly suggest that<br />
states with σqp = 0 [adopting the notation of Eq. (A.4)] might have remarkable<br />

[209], one can define natural averages either on the whole set of pure Gaussian<br />
states, or restricting to states with σqp = 0. Well, numerics unambiguously show<br />
[GA18] that the (thermodynamically-averaged) “generic” entanglement (under any<br />
