28. In Ref. [17] it is stated without proof that any Gaussian LOCC operation can be decomposed into a series of steps which involve additional ancillas in Gaussian states, local unitary Gaussian operations, projections into pure Gaussian states, partial traces, and "mixings such that the resulting state is Gaussian." There and in Refs. [10,11] it is described how the CM changes under the first four of these operations.

36. The correspondence of Gaussian operations and Gaussian states has been used in Ref. [35] to optimize continuous variable teleportation with Gaussian means.
